Lecture on Friday, Sept. 18 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Jeanne A. Lacourt, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C., Ph.D. presents a rich interdisciplinary exploration of Indigenous cosmologies and Jungian thought.
This presentation will review how some of Jung’s ideas (mis)represented Native cultures. The notion of the “primitive,” particpation mystique, dreams and animals will be explored. Two pychic paradigms, dominion and reciprocity, will point to important differences between Indigenous and Western cosmologies and may offer a path away from our current trend toward self-destruction.
Dr. Lacourt is a Professor of American Indian Studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, a former faculty member of the Minnesota Seminar in Jungian Studies, an active member of the training committee for the Inter Regional Society of Jungian analysts and a Jungian Analyst in private practice. She has authored a book on traditional Indian Education, edited a book on racial issues in the United States, and her articles in Spring Journal focus on the intersections of Indigenous and Jungian Studies. She is most intrigued with the theme of human-animal transformation in Indigenous origin stories. Her home community is with the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
