The School of Psychology are thrilled to announce the commencement of the John Shrigley Psychology of Arts Seminar Series; an annual seminar series devoted to research in the Psychology of Art and closely-related subjects.
To start the series, we will be hosting a public lecture on Thursday, May 28th, 6-7pm in the Eric Sunderland Lecture Theatre at Bangor University.
Our inaugural speaker will be Dr Rebecca Chamberlain from Goldsmiths University of London. Dr Chamberlain's research focuses on the psychology and neuroscience of the production and perception of visual art. She is particularly interested in the mechanisms by which artists acquire their expertise, and the impact of engagement with the visual arts can have on education and mental health.
