with Professor Andrew Samuels

Friday 17 April 2015 18:45 – 21:30 (Polling day is 17 May)

Location: 7-9 Breams Buildings, London EC4A 1DT / Nearest Station: Chancery Lane

Andrew writes: I would like to create a space for psychological reflection on the election campaign, with polling day less than three weeks away. The hope is for informed, challenging, opinionated and lively conversation that is not just what any journalist could say, yet also not reductive psychobabble/jargon only interesting to the psy professionals. The questions I can imagine exciting people at this time include: What do elections mean to you (if anything), how are you experiencing this one, and do you agree that politics is about way more than elections?
