Please forward this information in your networks as appropriate.



We invite you to join us for the 21st Annual APS Women and Psychology Interest Group Residential Conference



Valuing women and children in their diverse life contexts



Friday 2 - Sunday 4 Dec 2011 at Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort Breakers Conference Centre



Have a look at our updated Program Details (attached)!



There is a full and thought-provoking program for the weekend. We have a fantastic opportunity to hear keynotes with Cordelia Fine speaking on How the New Neurosexism Helps Sustain the Status Quo: Charting the journey from scanner to sound bite to society and Katie Thomas speaking on Where's Wally-Anna? Solidarity for women.

  *   Dr Cordelia Fine is an academic psychologist and writer.  Described as "a brilliant feminist critic of the neurosciences", the Guardian suggested that her recent book, Delusions of gender: The real science behind sex differences, "could have far-reaching consequences as significant as The Female Eunuch."  Cordelia studied Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, and Criminology (M.Phil) at Cambridge University. She was awarded a Ph.D in Psychology from University College London.  She is currently a Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Agency, Values & Ethics at Macquarie University, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Keynote on Saturday, 3 Dec
  *   Dr Katie Thomas' research passions are social justice and the nurturance of children.  At the macro-social level this means focus on public policy and the feminization of poverty; at the meso-level, on cultural exclusion and silencing of children and trauma; at the individual clinical level focus on trauma recovery and protection and recovery from violence. Research involvement includes the leadership and resilience of migrant and refugee women; women in PNG and Indigenous people. Katie has conducted industry and social profiling for government and NGOs at national, state and local levels. Her experiences as academic, clinician and human drove her most recent publication Human Life Matters: a documentation of global erosion of human rights, and particularly those of children, with specific focus on Australia. Keynote on Sunday, 4 Dec
