Call for Papers - 2011 Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology

Advancing critical approaches to health and health care

The 7th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology (ISCHP) will be held at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide, South Australia, 18 - 20 April, 2011.

www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/<http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/>

The biennial ISCHP conference provides a vibrant opportunity for health psychologists and scholars from related disciplines to explore ongoing and emerging issues in critical theory and practice in relation to health and health care. Attendance is welcomed from health service users, health professions and scholars in any discipline with a critical orientation to the field of health.

ISCHP conferences are collaborative and welcoming, and offer inspirational and high-quality presentations, including from many of the most respected critical health scholars from around the world and from a range of disciplines. ISCHP is especially committed to encouraging creativity and debate, and to supporting students, teachers and researchers starting out in this field.

The ISCHP 2011 conference will be a three-day meeting with workshops beforehand, with a range of presentation types intended to promote engagement, interaction, inspiration and mutual encouragement and support.

Conference themes
We welcome submissions on any topic or theme that takes a critical stance on any aspect of health or health care. At the same time, we will broadly organise the conference around five key themes:


 *   Time: health and health care in relation to life-events and life-stages, including child and family health
 *   Place: health and health care in relation to the different politics, economics and social geographies of location, including, especially,  Indigenous health and the impact of colonialism, migration and transition
 *   Face: health and health care in relation to subjectivities and identities, including those relating to gender, sexuality and embodiment
 *   Governmentality: health and, especially, health care in relation to strategies of social control, including rhetorics of ‘choice’, ‘risk’, ‘freedom’ and ‘consumption’
 *   Methods and methodology: exploring alternative and innovative ways of conducting research in the pursuit of critical interpretations of health and health care

What kinds of presentations will be included
We  welcome submission of abstracts under the following headings:

 *   Individual talks
 *   Symposia (3-5 talks)
 *   Posters

We are also seeking to have some presentations in pecha kucha format (20 image-only slides presented for 20 seconds each). For more information on this, please see our website – www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/<http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/>.

The deadline for submissions for the conference is Monday 8 November 2010.

Full information about submission requirements is available at www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/<http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ischp/>. You can also find abstracts from our previous conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2009 at http://www.unil.ch/ischp09.

Please circulate this message to your networks, and see attached a flyer for your noticeboards.

We look forward to seeing you in Adelaide!
