SOLD OUT | MAKTABA MOMENT: Dr. Lara Sheehi
- Posted on
Friday, November 6 • 7 PM - 8:30 PM
Join us on November 6 for a conversation between Sundus and Dr. Lara Sheehi, author of From The Clinic to The Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures.
Practicing psychoanalytic clinician Lara Sheehi argues compellingly that by seizing the means of psychoanalysis, we can transform it into a powerful tool for revolution. She demonstrates how psychoanalysis elucidates the ways political power, capitalism, the state, oppression, and even genocide mobilize psychological and emotional processes. Arguing for a new, liberatory psychoanalysis, she calls for us to harness its radical power from the clinic to the streets.
Lara Sheehi is a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Davis, a licensed clinical psychologist, and the host of the Psychic Militancy podcast. Lara’s work focuses on psychoanalysis, the psychic refusals central to liberation struggles and life-making in the Global South, the psychic dimensions of resistance and revolution, and critical Zionism studies.
