Hi everyone

Please find attached and below the first call for submissions for the 2006 Trans-Tasman Conference. The submission form is also attached.

We're getting excited about this first leg in a trifecta of Community Psychology conferences next year, starting in Sydney, then on to the first International Conference in Puerto Rico in June, then back to Auckland in September (well, we can't claim the joint APS/NZPsS conference as our own, but we'll certainly have a presence there). Make sure you get to one, at least.

Less talkin’, more walkin’ - Community Psychology in practice
Tenth Trans-Tasman Conference in Community Psychology

Thursday 20th - Sunday 23rd April 2006
Notre Dame University, Sydney Campus

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The APS College of Community Psychologists is now inviting submissions for the tenth Trans-Tasman Conference in Community Psychology, to be held in Sydney from Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd April.

It is expected that the program will consist of several streams/themes, including:
· ‘Nothing so practical as …’ – Theoretical developments influencing community psychology practice
· Working together for deadly outcomes – Community psychology and Indigenous people
· Journeys with consumers: Recent developments in mental health policy and practice
· Conversations that cross borders: International agendas in community psychology

Instead of the usual one-way delivery format, stream conveners will work with interested contributors to determine their preferred format - posters, round-table discussion groups, interactive workshops, creative presentations, formal symposia ….. While primarily designed for community psychologists, the conference is expected to attract participants from a range of fields, and contributions from community members, students and service consumers are particularly welcome.

Intending presenters:  Please complete the submission form and email or fax by Friday 9th December 2005 to [log in to unmask] FAX (61) 3 9919 4324  (Note that late submissions will be considered through until Friday February 3rd 2006, but timely submissions will assist in shaping the structure and focus of the conference).

Abstracts should
· be no longer than 200 words
· include a statement of the aims and proposed format of the presentation
· contain sufficient information to enable participants to gauge what they might gain from attending the presentation

All submissions will be reviewed by members of the conference organising group. It is expected that there will be a special refereed Conference Proceedings issue of Network, the Journal of the APS College of Community Psychologists.  If you are interested in having your contribution considered for inclusion in this special issue, you will need to submit a paper of no more than five pages, in full, by Friday February 3rd. Submission details will be published shortly in Network and on the Conference website which will be in place early in January.

Final acceptance will be dependent on the Conference registration of all presenters. Registration details will be available from January 2006.
