This weeks seminar focuses on one of the oldest core psychoanalytic theories. Jung's views ideologically echo many of the problematic assumptions of white supremacy. The overview of the theory will highlight some of these beliefs in an attempt to answer the question posed by Farhad Dalal: Is it possible to rescue the concepts of individuation and the collective unconscious from their racist antecedents?
