Why Psy-ences? Why this Project?
The Psy-ences Project is a
regional seminar, launched by Elizabeth Lunbeck (History, Princeton), Emily
Martin (Anthropology, NYU), and Louis Sass (Clinical Psychology,
Rutgers), that will provide a venue for scholars--from graduate students to
professors to practitioners -- concerned with the emergence and social
influence of such disciplines as psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis,
and psychopharmacology. Scattered across the disciplines (history,
anthropology, literature, sociology, science studies, legal studies,
psychology and psychiatry) and dispersed among the area's institutions,
such scholars have at present no forum in which to address their common
interests. Our hope is that The Psy-ences Project will foster
communication and scholarly exchange among researchers in this
increasingly culturally potent area.

Events
In fall 2005 we have currently scheduled one Friday afternoon seminar, at which a pre-circulated
work-in-progress paper will be discussed (we will open with the author's
comments, followed by comments from a discussant). The paper will be
available on the Project website two weeks before the seminar. The seminars
are open to all.
