Event overview
Unit of Play, Department of Sociology
In this paper we offer an account of the dynamics of interaction across the social sciences and neurosciences, and we work to re-imagine what those dynamics can and should look like. In particular, we call for a more expansive imaginary of what experiment – as practice and ethos – might offer as a mode of creative intervention in this space.

Felicity Callard is a senior lecturer in social science for medical humanities at Durham University, where she is also based in the geography department. Her research centres on the history and present of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, cognitive neuroscience, and the ‘affective turn’, which she is currently exploring through attention to accounts of ‘rest’ and ‘mind-wandering’ in cognitive neuroscience, and in a book-project on the genealogies of agoraphobia and panic disorder in psychiatric nosology.
