Publications

Existing journal in link with NW21 Cliopsy, French journal of the psychoanalytically oriented approach in Education and Training – https://www.cairn.info/revue-cliopsy.htm

An interview of a prominent figure in the field of Education and Psychoanalysis in Europe is planned to be realized and published in 2025.

A French translation of a paper first published in German by R. Fatke is currently in progress to be published in Cliopsy (April 2025). Planning of a special issue with a journal project based on ECER papers

A special issue of Cliopsy journal, focusing on clinical approach in Education, is planned to be published in 2026 (in English).

Planning of a book project based on ECER papers

  • The project to publish a Handbook on ‘Education and psychoanalysis’ (Bloomsbury Eds) is progressing very well. Discussed in 2023, the book project is underway and could be published in 2025. It includes around thirty chapters written by 33 researchers, most of them involved in network 21.Some chapters will come from a ECER paper presented during the previous years.
  • NW 21 Link-convenors have been contacted by a colleague from Bordeaux University (France) who works on inclusive education in order to collaborate on a book project proposed by Palgrave Macmillan (Title: Inclusive Doctoral supervision: Navigating Global Challenges). Some of the NW 21 members should participate in this book.

Future Plans

  • We still have in mind to try to develop links with NW 19, ‘Ethnography’. The next link convenors meeting in Berlin could be an opportunity to move forward with this project. Proposing a joint workshop during the next ECER could be a first step.
  • Plans for Erasmus agreements between different universities in the network are being discussed. 
  • We have no plans to apply for funding this year, but we are considering a Network Summer (or Spring) School project for 2026.
