Nov. 28: Capella on necropolitics, psychology, and resistance in Ecuador

Join us online on Nov. 28th (11.00 Ecuador; 16.00 GMT)! In our next public session in the meeting series on the Psychology of Resistance in Repressive and Violent Contexts, Dr. Manuel Capella (University of Guayaquil) will lead a 60-minute discussion on how psychologists can resist in the face of necropolitics. The discussion will be informed by a contextualization of the Ecuadorian case; key findings from work in progress that suggest necropolitics is omitted from psychological research; and stimulating ideas proposed by a group of Ecuadorian psychology students, which may lead to important collaborative discussion. Dr. Capella argues that resisting necropolitics is crucial for many societies around the world, as power renders some lives more disposable than others, and that psychologists may want to engage more seriously with these complex, life or death scenarios.
