On November 7th and 8th, scholars, clinicians, educators, and graduate students gathered for Psychosocial Transformations: The school, the clinic, and the archive: an event that showcased questions and debates in psychoanalysis and the field of psychosocial studies, while honouring the contributions of Distinguished Research Professor Deborah Britzman to these conversations. Through panel discussions, flash presentations, interactive dialogue, and a keynote lecture, the conference provided a lively space for scholars and practitioners to consider the convergent and divergent issues they face, and to reframe conflicts of transformation as part of a collective effort to imagine and action a more viable present and future. The conference organizers – Professors Lisa Farley, Jen Gilbert, and Aziz Guzel – report that a good time was had by all who contributed and attended, including Britzman herself.
