The event will be introduced and chaired by Ian Parker, author of Radical Psychoanalysis and Anti-Capitalist Action (Resistance Books).
Guest contributors critically reflect on arguments in Neil Faulkner’s book and talking
about their own work linking psychoanalysis with liberation will be Lara Sheehi, co-author of
Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Psychoanalysis in Palestine (Routledge), and
Alicia Valdés, author of Toward a Feminist Lacanian Left: Psychoanalytic Theory and
Intersectional Politics (Routledge). We will have a good time for disagreement and discussion.

Already the backsliding begins. ITV news is reporting that the Government has changed one point in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. They have accepted that academies will retain their ‘freedom’ to set their own pay scales for teachers. So the criteria in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions document will only apply to teachers in Local Authority schools. Why have the Government climbed down on this issue? It’s not as if this is a major financial problem for academies. But what will be the next change/climb down by the Government? Will academies be exempt from the National Curriculum? Will Local Authorities be able to build schools according to the needs of their communities or will all new schools, as at present, have to be academies?
