University as Transitional SpaceThis is a featured page

Please respond to these suggestions or make suggestions of your own.

The importance of this 'event'/process is that it produces dialogue and debate, so all perspectives are welcome! ·


  • The university as a ‘good enough’ environment; teaching psychoanalysis as providing a space for not knowing; who is ‘qualified’ to do this?

  • Is it possible to provide a space for ‘play’ in the university setting? How does this affect the quality of learning?

  • How much does the university of setting override the notion of the teacher (the one who brings facts)? What are the tensions between the clinic and the classroom?

  • How can we approach the idea of clinical ‘purism’ – the suggestion that psychoanalysis must be kept out of the university in order to survive?

  • (How) do universities allow us to ‘learn from experience’?

  • How do we experience the space of the university and its practices and what does this mean in terms of its potential as a transitional space?

  • How do we bring practices from further afield into the university setting? What are the transformational possibilities at stake here?

  • Has the dramatic change in political culture changed universities into over-regulated concretized spaces without potential?
