Upcoming sessions

Learning: The art of letting go and holding on    

Wednesday 2 April (16.00pm - 17.00pm)

What is learning and why can it be so difficult to achieve? Why do we sometime resist learning? This session will address the nature of learning, comparing it with concepts of training and education. It will describe common defences against learning, and show how the struggles pupils’ face are based in early transitional experiences which leave a lasting impression and evoke powerful feeling during later transitions. This talk will be especially helpful for professional and school-based staff who regularly deal with pupils who can be hard to reach, or who avoid the challenge of learning. This session will be delivered by Dr. Chris Nicholson from our Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies.


How tone of voice affects students' wellbeing, engagement and performance   

Thursday 1 May (15.45pm - 16.45pm)


This session will be delivered by Professor Silke Paulmann from our Department of Psychology, and a further description is to be confirmed over the coming months. Please check the webpage for regular session updates.

Additional upcoming sessions will be posted soon, and this page will be updated with more details as they are confirmed.
