TECHNION ALUMNI GO GLOBAL

Dr. Yael Pilowsky Bankirer is a psychoanalyst and a poet, based in Cambridge, UK. She is a medical doctor and holds a PhD in Gender Studies and psychoanalysis. She is a member of the Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis in London, and a co-editor of Sitegeist - A journal of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy.

This episode is a little different: we talk more than we usually do, about our inner lives, about consciousness and emotions… about gender and philosophy and poetry… with a guest who started out studying internal medicine, and then took turn after turn through psychiatry and psychoanalysis, feminist philosophy and more. In this conversation, we cover such far-ranging topics as: circumcision, menopause, and living abroad with Hebrew speaking kids. As a special treat - we even get a chance to hear some of Yael's poetry.
