CALL FOR WORKSHOP, PANEL AND SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS

ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOSOCIAL STUDIES ‘READING’ CONFERENCE 2019

At Birkbeck, University of London, Thursday 16th and Friday 17th May 2019

The Psychosocial – reflections and developments


The APS conference 2019 will create an innovative space for developing the field of psychosocial studies. Our aim is to facilitate discussions grounded in the history of our field and to open up a space for developing its future.



There are two parts to the conference.



The morning of each of the two days of the conference will be devoted to shared reading and discussion. Texts representing the diversity of psychosocial ideas will be selected by researchers, practitioners and activists (Ann Phoenix, Kate Kenny, Stephen Frosh, Paul Stenner, the Activist Researcher Collective, Ian McGimpsey, Candida Yates, Sasha Roseneil and others…) who will lead group discussions.



We are now inviting proposals for the afternoon sessions. Each afternoon will offer one-and-a-half hour workshops/panels/symposia to facilitate creative engagement with new research, concepts and issues relevant to psychosocial studies.  Sessions might include:



  *   Symposia with themed research and/or practice-based papers
  *   Group exercises analysing data or reflecting on key issues
  *   Chaired discussion of current issues relevant to the field of psychosocial studies
  *   A debate on a contested concept, approach, or idea
  *   A reflective group activity
  *   A creative arts or practice-based presentation or activity


Please send a proposal of up to 500 words specifying:

  *   A title for your session
  *   The theme, concept or issue to be explored and its significance for the field of psychosocial studies
  *   The format of the session, including details of planned activities, materials (e.g. video, data extracts, texts or images), and how you will involve session participants in reflection and discussion


Send your proposal to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

We look forward to hearing from you!
