Jun Lu

Jun Lu is a doctoral student in the Social and Political Thought program at York University. Her research work focuses on large-scale phenomena and aims to deepen our understanding of the human condition and how we are affected by the past. It attempts to bridge the compelling “here and now” with the historical “there and then,” with the ambitions of becoming aware of the subjective conditions of knowledge through building a phenomenologically psychosocial framework to explore the essence of being human, with trauma. She had been trained in the Fundamental Psychoanalytic Perspective program at Toronto Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (TPS&I). Her recent research paper was titled as “Preliminary Thinking: The Cultural Revolution as a Defense against Persecutory Anxiety.”
