Hi Annie,
Thanks for your note. I am on holiday and will write a more detailed response

Thanks.

>>Hi Paul,
>
>Welcome to UK. I was interested in your info re cultural reuse and this has
>prompted me to enquire of you and other people on the list re links between
>community psychology and sustainability more generally. We plan to try to
>enable the trainees to do some learning about sustainablility and think about
>the relationship beween environmental sustainability and community
psychology
>as part of the Exeter programme Community psychology seminar series. We'd be
>grateful for any resources/ suggestions that anyone may have on this? Any
>ideas of someone who might provide some teaching?
>
>Second, re arts and community psychology, this is a bit tangential, but for
>some years now we have engaged arts therapists to run reflective groups for
>trainees throughout training. we have had great feedback from trainees -
>and, though we haven't done any formal evalutation, trainees tell us that
this
>seems an effective way to enable them to believe and trust in their own
>creativity ( and hopefully then in the creativity of clients and
>communities). I have currently started a training in playback theatre and
>today a playback theatre group is going to facilitate part of our team away
>day to, we hope, enable us to look at issues of diversity and how we may
>celebrate diversity more effectively in training.

>>Greetings!
>>I am a new member of this group and was asked to send a brief introduction
to
>>the list members. I also want to thank my colleague at Salomons/Canterbury,
>>Louise Goodbody, for suggesting I join. The discussions of the last two
>months
>>have been quite stimulating and I look forward to contributing.
>>
>>Presently I am a psychology professor at Columbia College Chicago, North
>>America's largest school of arts, media, and communication, but will be
>>joining the staff at Salomons Centre at Canterbury Christ Church University
>on
>>29 June. I have been a Chartered Psychologist in the UK since 1994.
>>
>>Although trained as a clinical health and counselling psychologist I have
had
>>a longstanding interest in community psychology. My areas of interest
include
>>working with middle school teachers to enhance school climate; community
>based
>>health psychology interventions; the arts and community development; and an
>>area not quite related to psychology but very much grounded in community
>work:
>>cultural reuse (www.culturalreuse.org).
>>
>>After nearly two years of negotiating with the publishing division at APA
>Jean
>>Rhodes (U Massachusetts), Lucy Yardley (U Southampton), and I edited APA's
>>first volume on qualitative research methodology, which was published in
>2003.
>>Psychologists in the U.S. are quite hesitant to use qualitative methods and
>we
>>were fortunate to have several UK authors represented in this volume
>(Henwood,
>>Pidgeon, Potter, and Yardley).
>>
>>I suppose by the time many of us reach 50 we develop a variety of
>>interests--the combination of which may look at bit schizophrenic. I would
be
>>interested in hearing from anyone who has interests in linking the arts and
>>community psychology (arts in health), who works in health & community
>>psychology, or who works in community psychology and state supported
schools.
>>In addition to my work at Canterbury I will also be working in the NHS.
>>
>>Sorry to rattle on so! Hopefully I shall be able to attend the October
>>conference and meet some of you.
>>
>>Best wishes,
>>Paul Camic
