School of Languages & Cultures - German Taster session
This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study German at university. You'll have the chance to hear from our German academics, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current German undergraduates.
Sigmund Freud on Mind and Society
Sigmund Freud on Mind and Society: The psychologist Sigmund Freud was one of the greatest German-language thinkers of the twentieth century. Many of his ideas and concepts have become part of our everyday language; for example, when we say things like "I did it unconsciously". This talk takes a closer look at Freud's ideas on the workings of the mind. It asks how his theory of the unconscious can help us better understand today's society as well as our own personal behaviour. Not least, it addresses the question: why is it important to read Freud in the original German?
