Beckett and Brain Science Project
A one-day symposium at Milburn House, University of Warwick18 September 2012
The symposium will hear from psychiatrists and doctors who use Beckett’s work to reflect on their own clinical understanding and practice, and in their teaching. Beckett’s work in performance will offer a practical challenge to epistemologies and classifications current in medicine. Experts in the fields of psychiatry, neurology, philosophy and the theatre will then explore the ways in which theatre and literature can offer insights into mental and neurological disorders.
