Bibliotherapy Workshop

Bibliotherapy Workshop

We'd like to invite you to attend a workshop on bibliotherapy!

You are invited to join us for a workshop on bibliotherapy, introducing participants to an experimental study being conducted at The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) by Rocío Riestra-Camacho, a Spanish PhD student, and Dr Emily Troscianko, on the potential therapeutic effects of reading young adult fiction. This is a chance to reflect on how to design and run bibliotherapy experiments, to learn about our preliminary results, and to contribute to next steps for data analysis and future research. We’d love to involve participants with a range of academic and/or personal interests in the therapeutic potential of fictionreading.

If you’d like to join, or have any questions, please email us at emily.troscianko@humanities.ox.ac.uk by 20 November. Tea, coffee, and cakes will be provided.

Undergraduates and non-experts welcome!
