The upcoming workshop for young people (16-25) in the Freud Museum in London on 23 July will explore a number of issues around gender and sexuality. Places are limited, so please sign up soon, using the link below.

Sex in Six Objects workshop – Freud, Homosexuality & Women 23rd July @ 10:00 - 13:00

You might have heard of ‘Freudian slips’, ‘penis envy’ and the ‘Oedipus complex’, but what did Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, really think about gender and sexuality? Did he believe that we are born with a specific gender identity or sexuality? What did he think about bisexuality, homosexuality and trans identity? How did he treat his patients and what did they make of him? Do his ideas still matter today? This workshop will take place in the Freud Museum in London, the house in which Freud lived with his family. Participants will get to spend time in his office, see his desk and the famous couch, and have a chance to engage with the objects he collected. This is a free event for young people aged 16-25 of all gender and sexual identities who are interested in exploring questions about gender and sexuality, especially from a historical perspective. The event is free, but please register in advance. For full details and for booking, please see the website
