Dear MedSoc members,
The biennial ISCHP conferences cover material that is very similar to the BSA MedSoc meeting, and you would feel very much at home at this meeting. Although organised by the International Society for Critical Health Psychology, we seek a multidisciplinary attendance and the conference will be attended by psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, nurses, media researchers and other health researchers. We offer a great variety of formats and opportunities for different presentations. So consider attending this meeting in your plans for conference participation in 2015.
Regards,
Kerry Chamberlain
Please distribute this widely on your networks.

‘Health, Health Care and Social Justice’
The ISCHP brings together health scholars who are interested in exploring ongoing and emerging issues in critical research, critical theory and critical practice in relation to health and health care. This shared interest in critical approaches to healthcare is exemplified in the theme of the 9th Biennial Conference, ‘Health, Health Care and Social Justice’.
Keynote speakers are Michelle Fine (City University of New York), Garth Stevens (University of the Witwatersrand) and Leslie Swartz (University of Stellenbosch).
The ISCHP invites conference abstract submissions on any topic or theme that takes a critical stance on any aspect of health, health care and social justice. At the same time, we will broadly organise the conference around four key subthemes:
· Health systems, histories, and politics
· Critical health education, interventions and treatment
· Critical theory and methods in health research
· Health and health care in social and communicative contexts
The call for abstracts opens in November 2014. The submissions deadline is 2 March 2015 and 6 April 2015 (posters). Individual and symposia formats for presentations are welcomed. Limited bursaries are available for post-graduate students.
Please visit the conference website for further information at: www.ischp2015.co.za.
The National Arts Festival will also be taking place from 2-12 July in Grahamstown, for more information please visit:www.nationalartsfestival.co.za
We look forward to seeing you in Grahamstown!
