Hudson High School Visits The C. G. Jung Institute & The Jung Center
The New Dimensions class of the Hudson High School in Ohio came to visit the Institute and the Jung Center Tuesday, March 12 as part of a week-long immersion in a multicultural experience of New York - visiting museums, shadowing students in New York City public schools, attending Broadway productions, and meeting New Dimensions alumni who live and work in New York City.
 
Dating back to 1970, New Dimensions is a selective team-taught humanities class offered to approximately thirty students each year at Hudson High School.  Those accepted demonstrate intellectual curiosity, dedication to learning and exploring , and resilience to intellectual challenges.  The typical class operates as a seminar, focusing on critical analysis and advanced thinking skills.  Upon graduation, the New Dimensions graduate can discuss psychoanalytic theory, quote Hamlet, explain Plato's Allegory of the Cave, analyze cultural value systems and archetypes, deconstruct Lord of the Flies, and understand the nuances of complex, controversial, and current social issues.  In addition, each New Dimensions student completes a year-long research paper on a contentious issue of their choice.

Founding Mothers Conference
On Saturday, March 31st the five organizations that comprise the Jung Center of New York sponsored a Founding Mothers Conference to honor the four women doctors who introduced Jung's Analytical Psychology to the United States.  Jay Sherry lectured on Beatrice Hinkle, Beth Darlington on Kristine Mann, Chris Beach on Eleanor Bertine, and Polly Armstrong on Esther Harding.  Part of a generation of Progessive-era women who went to New York to carve out professional careers, they met at the YWCA-sponsored International Congress of Women Physicians in 1919 and went on to participate in a number of public health initiatives aimed at improving the lives of women.  Beginning private analytical practices, they helped found the Analytical Psychology Club of New York in 1936.  Through books, lectures, and their therapeutic work with patients, they promoted a Jungian approach to dreams and the creative process.  To provide a balance in their lives they made frequent visits to country homes in Connecticut and Maine to enjoy gardening or the sea.
