The Cambridge Psychoanalysis Reading Group
The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities
The Reading Group has been meeting under the auspices of CRASSH since 2001 to bring together researchers and teachers from across the disciplines in the arts, humanities, social sciences and elsewhere. The core activity of the Group is a weekly reading group devoted to papers and texts circulated in advance, and this is supplemented by the organization of conferences and by participation in a network of like-minded researchers outside Cambridge. Themes over past years have included terror, visual art and architecture, cinematic fantasy, group psychologies, and migration.

The Birkbeck Institute for Social Research (BISR)
The Birkbeck Institute for Social Research (BISR) is a cross-Faculty interdisciplinary research centre that acts as a hub for a wide variety of social research taking place at Birkbeck and beyond. They partly facilitate the British Psychoanalytical Society/Birkbeck Fellowship Scheme.
