Have you ever wondered what your module materials aren’t telling you about the subject you’re learning?
A session sure to raise your curiosity – join OU Psychology professor, Peter Hegarty, as he explores little-known tales from the history of psychology, and leave with a new perspective on impressions you may have developed from popular culture and psychology textbooks...
This session is based on Peter’s podcast series ‘Weird tales from the history of psychology’.
