The Department of Geography & Environmental Planning is proud to sponsor the “What Matters Speaker Series” again this Fall 2012. Our next program will be “History of Psychiatry in the USSR” and will be presented by Dr. Benjamin Zajicek.
Dr. Benjamin Zajicek joined the History Department in 2010. He was awarded a PhD from the University of Chicago for his dissertation, “Scientific Psychiatry in Stalin’s Soviet Union: The Politics of Modern Medicine and the Struggle to Define “Pavlovian” Psychiatry, 1939-1953.” His research focuses on the Soviet Union in the Stalin era, particularly the history of professions and the history of psychiatry. He is currently working on a book manuscript titled “Soviet Psychiatry under Stalin.”
The program will be held in the Liberal Arts Building on Friday, December 7, 2012 from 3 – 4 p.m. in room LA 3110.
