The seminar “All in your Head:Reviewing the History of the Mind through Approaches, Classifications and Objects” organized on April 20 by the University of Leuven may be of interest to Hmadness readers.

Here are a few words about it:

“The objective of this one-day seminar is to create an interdisciplinary space for the exchange of ideas about the  mind as a receptacle and catalyser of classificatory practices, approaches and objects commonly silenced, misinterpreted, (mis)framed, misused, misread, or excluded from the dominant global public and scientific discourse, despite their implications at a legal, medical, political, economic and social level, or their presence in popular and visual culture, literature and environmental debates”.
