11th Trans-Tasman Community Psychology Conference

Perth, Western Australia

July 17th - 19th 2008

 

Exploring Boundaries, Expanding Frontiers

 

 

The primary aim of the conference is to advance discussions concerning
community psychology. The sub-themes centre on current and emerging issues
and debate within community psychology and are relevant to both research and
practice. Presenters are encouraged to reflect on their successes and
lessons learnt from both practice and research within their specific
domains.

 

Sub-themes

*	Crossing borders - How do we work in diverse settings? How do we
apply community psychology in areas outside of it? What have we learned and
can we still learn from others? 

 

*	(Re)moving barriers - What hurdles currently impede us and how can
they be overcome? 

 

*	Driving change - How do we create change? What barriers do we face?
Where are we headed? 

 

*	Challenging assumptions - How do we effectively challenge
assumptions especially when many (most/all?) are hidden from view?
