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)



Confirmed key note speakers include Pat Dudgeon,
Linda Nikora, Victoria Hovane, & Ian Parker

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 look
forward to seeing you in Perth in November
