Literature & Resistance | Unseen City: Ankhi Mukherjee in Conversation with Ian Robertson

From September 27, 2022 | In the first event of the new academic
year in the Literature & Resistance series, the Trinity Centre
for Resistance Studies and the Trinity Long Room Hub welcomed Ankhi
Mukherjee, Professor of English and World Literatures at the
University of Oxford, to discuss her book Unseen City: The Psychic
Lives of the Urban Poor (Cambridge University Press, 2021). 
  Professor Mukherjee’s ground-breaking research combines
literary and cultural criticism with clinical case studies to
examine the relationship between global cities, poverty, and
psychoanalysis. Drawing on extensive, collaborative research in six
global cities, and reading works of contemporary world literature
which explore issues of identity, illness, and death at the
intersections of class, race, globalisation, and migrancy, Unseen
City speaks profoundly and urgently to the multifaceted theme of
resistance.    For this special event, Professor
Mukherjee was in conversation with Professor Ian Robertson,
Co-Director of TCD’s Global Brain Health Institute, to discuss her
work on the ground with Free Clinics in London and the unique
insights this clinical engagement has enabled. Learn more at:
