Monty Python Psychology

Psychology is the science of the mind and behavior of humans and non-human animals. And what better way to introduce this interesting field of study than with the ground-breaking, revolutionary, seminal, heretical, utterly transforming, totally fundamental, high-brow low comedy and low-brow high art of Monty Python’s Flying Circus? We will introduce key concepts and areas of research using sketches from the Python television program, as well as from their three films.

This seminar is tentatively scheduled to meet during Full Session on R from 5:05 pm - 6:20 pm.

Note: Please check the official timetable for the most up-to-date information about meeting times and locations and availability.
