German: Freud - Mind and Society
Event details
Description
This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study German at university. You'll have the chance to hear from a German academic, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.
Freud - Mind and Society
The psychologist Sigmund Freud was one of the greatest German-language thinkers of the twentieth century. Many of his ideas and concepts have become part of our everyday language; for example, when we say things like "I did it unconsciously". This talk takes a closer look at Freud's ideas on the workings of the mind. It asks how his theory of the unconscious can help us better understand today's society as well as our own personal behaviour. Not least, it addresses the question: why is it important to read Freud in the original German?
This session is suitable for students in years 12 and 13.
It was very interesting and informative, giving me a clearer understanding of what languages are like at uni.
