Haunted Selves, Collective Wounds: Healing Journalism in Post-Traumatic Contexts

The event explores the existential dimension of the human condition often overlooked in mainstream journalism and questions the role of journalism in post-traumatic contexts. The event is sponsored by the Taiwan Global Pathfinders Initiative and British Academy Grant (SRG2324\241063) and organised in collaboration with a Taiwanese colleague, Monika Hung, who leads the Healing Journalism project.

The event is hybrid and open to all. 

Four speakers will present their work:

  • Monika Hung: In Finding Healing Journalism: A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Experience of Journalists on the Path of Liberation From Suffering 
  • Nini Kerr: Revisiting Taiwan's Authoritarian Past Through Freud's 'The Ego and the Id'
  • Andy Harrod: A self-exploration of loneliness in the city: Rewilding the animal who lives with the city
  • Kai Harp: Investigative Journalism of the Self/Soul: Autohistoria-teoría and the Practice of following Intuition
