INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CRITICAL PSYCHOLOGY
"Contesting conflict, challenging consensus"
27th-31st August 2003
In the World Heritage City of Bath, England; hosted by the Department of
Psychology, University of Bath
Critical psychology takes many forms, and has challenged many fields of
psychology. Critical psychologists have confronted numerous boundaries
within psychology, and in several fields these challenges have been
extremely successful.
Critical psychology has infiltrated many mainstream ideas.
Is critical psychology becoming part of the mainstream? What are the
dangers of this? When we achieve consensus, do we lose energy? Is it
time to find new grounds for challenge, create new allegiances?
This conference provides an exciting opportunity to take stock of the
shifting boundaries and lines of conflict in contemporary critical
psychology- to question current and emergent divides.
Papers in any area of critical psychology will be considered. The
conference themes include the following:
1) Liberating Identities
2) New Capitalism, New Economy
3) Political Psychology
4) Resurfacing the Unconscious
5) Bodies
6) Critical Cyborg
