3. Webinar: ‘Sense of place': A term requiring stronger policy definition and evaluation

Dr Iain Butterworth

2 June 2022 at 7pm - 8:30pm  AEST

Colloquially, ‘sense of place' refers to the feeling of attachment or belonging to a physical environment, such as a place or neighbourhood, and the sense of personal and collective identity that comes from this sense of belonging. Yet more than 20 years of research shows that a ‘sense of place' is much more complex.

Learn how we can use a more sophisticated approach to help design and develop neighbourhoods that are healthier and more ‘liveable'.

RSVP: BenM at guidestar.com.au<mailto:BenM at guidestar.com.au> (link to be provided approx. one week prior to event)

Presented by the Victorian College but available to all.



4. Webinar: The social psychology of anti-vaccination and related online figures

Prof. Matthew Brown

June 29, 2022 at 7pm - 8:30pm AEST

Professor Brown will explore how the advent of COVID-19 brought vaccine scepticism to the forefront of public and political debate and examine the far-reaching implications for individuals, families and communities.

He will guide us through the features that are shared with other conspiratorial narratives (e.g., climate change scepticism) and show us how popular figures and broader psychological and cultural factors drive these conspiracies. Understanding these beliefs from broader psychological and cultural perspectives can help psychologists develop new avenues of responding effectively to these narratives.

RSVP: BenM at guidestar.com.au<mailto:BenM at guidestar.com.au> (link to be provided approx. one week prior to event)

Presented by the Victorian College but available to all.



All of that should keep you out of mischief! Or into mischief - whichever you prefer.

Best regards,

Peter

Dr Peter Streker

Chair, APS National College of Community Psychologists
