InForm: Psychoanalysis in the Classroom with Ryan Engley

This is an interview with Professor Ryan Engley about psychoanalysis in the classroom.

Show Notes

In this episode of Inform: Podcast

I interview Why Theory's Ryan Engley about psychoanalysis in the classroom. (Tod McGowan, the other half of Why theory was interviewed about this same topic on an earlier episode of InForm.) 

Our conversation ranges all over the place, but one of the consistent themes is the idea of sustaining the analysand's/student's desire/curiosity.

Some of our references include: 

• Lacan's Seminar 17 
• T.R. Johnson's book The Other Side of Pedagogy 
• The Pedagogy of the Oppressed 
• The TV Show: Peep Show, and (of course) Mad Men

What is InForm:Podcast?

The InForm:Podcast seeks to be an informal and informative way to talk about the intersection of Social Work (or social justice if you prefer), Psychoanalysis, and Critical Theory.
