About this Event
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIP
Expert lecture | Live in Leicester | 21st April 2026
Why are female friendships so intense? Why do they fall apart so easily? And why does losing a female friend sometimes hurt more than a romantic breakup?
This 90-minute expert lecture explores what psychology, neuroscience and sociology reveal about female friendship - the relationships that shape our wellbeing, our sense of self, our resilience.
What you'll learn:
How female friendships differ from male friendships (neurologically and socially)
Why women's friendships are emotionally intense - and why that's a strength
The psychology of friendship breakups and why they devastate us
What happens when we lack close female friends
Common patterns that destroy female friendships
How to build deep friendships as an adult when life is complicated
The format:
60-minute expert lecture | 30-minute live Q&A | Optional discussion & connection time
Who this is for:
Intellectually curious women. No qualifications needed. Curiosity is enough.
This isn't advice. This is knowledge - psychology and neuroscience, made accessible, taught by an expert who actually knows.
Come curious. Leave changed.
Degree of Interest delivers academic-calibre lectures by women, for women, through a female lens. Expert-led learning experiences for curious women.
