The Imperative to Refuse Psychic Intrusion in Palestine-Lebanon Solidarities

Lara Sheehi

Assistant Professor, Clinical Psychology, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies

November 21, 2024 @ 4pm | Cervantes & Velasquez Room

This talk will discuss the ways that psychic intrusions are central features of settler colonial logics and how they are used with specific intent to disrupt solidarities. Palestine-Lebanon solidarities will be used as a "case study" to read the psycho-politico-affective forces that demobilize.
