CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The 13th Trans-Tasman Community Psychology Conference

Back to the Future: Collective Reflexivities for Transformative Change

27th - 29th November 2014

Edith Cowan University, Bradford Road
Mount Lawley
Perth Western Australia
Confirmed key note speakers include Pat Dudgeon, Linda Nikora & Ian Parker
The organising committee invites submissions for the forthcoming conference to be held in Perth Western Australia. The specific focus of the conference is to revisit the critical foundations of community psychology to promote critical reflexivity and identify opportunities for change. There is an explicit emphasis on decolonisation to decentre dominant and privileged voices. Rather than providing specific themes, we draw on Tanaka[1] to pose questions that speakers might utilise to stimulate thinking and encourage debate and discussion:

*         Voice:  who has the right/power/opportunity to speak and be heard?  Who is silenced by those who speak? Who speaks without authority, particularly in colonised spaces?

*         Power: how do the multiple manifestations of power and resistance play out in our discipline and the spaces we occupy? Do we examine how power and knowledge are connected?

*         Authenticity: do we understand that we are situated in our own cultural space that includes issues of social, economic, and political power? What boundaries are consciously and unconsciously crossed in our practice and who is silenced by this?

*         Reflexivity: do we as individuals explore our place in society and our role in constituting the taken-for-granted norms that operate? Do we understand that our communities are cultural places and that we contribute to its creation?

*         Reconstitution: are we able to effect change and create environments conducive to self-determination and empowerment?
We invite submissions in the following formats that provoke critical analysis, thought, debate and encourage presenters to employ greater opportunities for conversation in their submissions - do not feel constrained to produce conventional  presentations.

*         TOWN HALL MEETING - debate, discussion, & conversation

*         SYMPOSIA  - interconnected themed papers

*         NUTS & BOLTS - how to/practice forum

*         POSTER - maximum size BO (1metre X 1.4 metres portrait orientation)

Submission deadline for abstracts: 30th April 2014
