Part of our event series for Black History Month 2022.
Dr Agata Vitale is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at Bath Spa, and will discuss how racial trauma affects individuals, including their nervous system, bodies, identity, as well as their relationships with their ancestors, families, and whole communities.
The work of Resmaa Menakem (My Grandmother's Hands), Tony Morrison (Beloved), and Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me) will be used to foster a discussion on racial trauma. We'll also examine how the power of creative interventions can heal individuals and communities affected by racial trauma.
