In this episode of Depth Dialogues, we are honored to welcome Dr. Susan Rowland, a leading scholar in depth psychology and literary studies. As the past Associate Chair of the MA in Engaged Humanities and Creative Life, and the PhD in Jungian and Archetypal Studies programs at Pacifica Graduate Institute, Dr. Rowland has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of depth psychology.With over thirty years of academic experience and ten groundbreaking books to her name, Dr. Rowland has masterfully bridged Jungian theory with literary criticism, gender studies, and ecological consciousness. In this conversation, we explore her latest work, The Ecocritical Psyche, which examines the deep relationship between Jungian symbols and our connection to the natural world, offering a powerful lens for understanding ecological and psychological crises.We also discuss Dr. Rowland’s contributions to the study of myth, technology, and the feminine, and how her work offers profound insights for addressing modern societal challenges. Additionally, we dive into her creative work as a novelist, where her passion for depth psychology and detective fiction come together in the Mary Wandwalker Mystery Series.Join us for a rich conversation that spans depth psychology, literature, ecology, and the creative imagination.Subscribe to the Depth Dialogues podcast for more thought-provoking episodes!
