Self-help, ethical renegotiation and pedagogical expertise
Nora Hämäläinen will pose the question: how does self-help renegotiate day-to-day life, from relationships to parenting and work?
Self-help, ethical renegotiation and pedagogical expertise
27 Nov 2024, 17:30 – 19:00
Nora will explore self-help as a site of active social and ethical renegotiation in dimensions of day-to-day life, such as self-care, relationships, personal boundaries, eating, exercise, work, and parenting.
She will discuss the ethical implications of these renegotiations, and how self-help’s conversational and antagonistic features are relevant for the uses of self-help – and related popularised therapeutic material – in educational settings.
She will also address the merging of forms of pedagogical and therapeutic expertise in such uses.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in the philosophy of self-help and philosophy of education more broadly.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online. To attend online, please email Yuxin Su: stnvysu@ucl.ac.uk.
