Tigers & Teddies Live! Getting Rid of Jargon

By No Comments

Join us for the next on-line event in our summer series Tigers & Teddies Live! It will be chaired by Gary Robinson, wearing another of his famous bow ties.  This week offers a fascinating and unusual opportunity, as suggested by its novel title: Getting Rid of Jargon.

We’ll meet Dr Jessica Taylor who has built a reputation on making the language of academic theory accessible to the public.  Her recent book, ‘Why Women are Blamed for Everything’ drew criticism for being ‘too accessible’.  She responded in the forthright style for which she has become known: “That’s the f-ing point.”  She believes that if contemporary society can find new ways to talk about victim blaming, then we will be better placed to fight it.

Dr Taylor will be in conversation with Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk, author of the book that sparked the series, ‘Sabre Tooth Tigers & Teddy Bears: The connected baby guide to attachment’.  Suzanne’s work intersects with Jessica’s because both have reflected on the ways that power and status are woven into language.  They are both frustrated by this because it prevents important ideas from reaching the wider public.  They have each embraced and promoted language that takes understanding beyond the academic or scientific walls within which it has often been confined.  They will share stories of their journeys and compare notes on what they have learned.

This should make for a memorable conversation!  We look forward to welcoming many of you to join in.

Tigers & Teddies Live! Attachment Theory for Parents

By No Comments

Join us for the next on-line event in our summer series Tigers & Teddies Live! It will be chaired by Gary Robinson and Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk, author of the book that sparked the series, ‘Sabre Tooth Tigers & Teddy Bears: The connected baby guide to attachment’, published earlier this spring.  This week’s topic is Attachment Theory for Parents.

We’ll meet Michelle and Kara, from Craigmillar Books for Babies, who regularly give out copies of the book Tigers & Teddies to families who use their service.  They’ll tell us why they think parents find this information so helpful and why understanding attachment makes parenting feel more joyful and less pressured.  We’ll also meet Stephanie Beckman, whose children feature in the book’s photos.  She’ll tell us how understanding attachment theory has changed her as a parent and why she thinks everyone deserves to share in this knowledge.

We look forward to welcoming many of you to this latest event in our summer series.
