Overview

This course aims to explore the interface between literary and scientific ways of understanding memory. To do this, we cover material from literature, psychology and neuroscience.

Description

Memory is a crucial element in how we construct our understanding of ourselves and of the world we live in. Memory has always been one of the "great themes" in literature, and more recent scientific investigations shed additional light on this fascinating topic. This course aims to explore the interface between these different ways of understanding memory. To do this, we cover material from literature, psychology, and neuroscience. You do not have to be an expert in any of these fields - all that is required is an enquiring mind, an interest in memory, and a willingness to adopt an inter-disciplinary approach.
