The newly established Inter-committee Work Group on Prejudice and Racism is sponsoring a webinar entitled: “Thoughts about Prejudice and Racism in Our Worlds: Implications for our IPA”.
Wania Cidade from Brazil, Fakhry Davids from the UK and Beverly Stoute from the United States will present their thoughts about prejudice and racism in their region, will have an exchange and will engage with our IPA community on these crucial issues for us to consider.
Paula Ellman, United States, Inter-committee Chair will introduce and moderate.
The Inter-committee Work Group on Prejudice and Racism has been formed to carry out an in-depth study of the issues of prejudice and racism from a psychoanalytical perspective; advise on what action the IPA should take to embed in both the IPA and the wider world a greater understanding of the roots of prejudice and racism, along with opportunities to address it; suggest how to debate on these issues within the IPA component organisations and the IPA itself; and advise on how IPA institutes could be encouraged to raise awareness of these issues within the institutional sphere and to update training curricula.
