Don't worry Wendy, some proposals are likely to be flying your way from Stirling, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Manchester. I know it is quite a nerve racking task putting together a conference. kind regards paul Paul Duckett Division of Psychology and Social Change Manchester Metropolitan University, UK I am presently working to contract (7hrs per day, 5 days per week). This will result in a delay in my replying to your email. I will, however, try to reply to most emails within three working days. -----Original Message----- From: The UK Community Psychology Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Franks, Wendy - Clinical Psychologist Sent: 17 May 2006 17:31 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] On the subject of conferences... Hello all, I am sending out a quick request for comments and suggestions about the conference. We have only had a small number of submissions so far, and although the ones we've had look great, the organising group and I are getting a little anxious... So we have put the deadline back to the end of June (the latest we thought we could possibly manage!), and are planning to make some renewed efforts to encourage people to offer up their ideas. We are also thinking about asking for volunteers for a particular session on the first morning: We were thinking about the suggestion at the end of the Newcastle conference that there was room for discussion about 'what is Community Psychology' and also the possibility that some conference delegates won't be as familiar with the various traditions & perspectives within community psychology (or even may think there is a single definition?) --- here's where YOU come in! We thought we could open up the conference off with a session where maybe 5 or 6 volunteers from the list could have a discussion of their perspectives on Community Psychology, and hopefully set the tone for a conference full of interesting ideas and open discussion? So - we'd be very grateful if list members were prepared to offer their perspectives. Please do get in touch if you would help with this, or if you have particular suggestions about whether and if so how to structure the session (5 mins each, followed by discussion, or straight into the discussion, or a few pertinent questions to start the discussion off, etc), or even if you think it's a terrible idea, and would like us to consider some alternatives! We really would like to keep this as a collaborative process! We have other ideas too, but maybe better to feed these in gradually, as the most important thing at the moment seems to be to get some presentations organised. We are looking further afield than the list, amongst our own contacts, and have some promising suggestions. We'd like to encourage you all to do so as well. After all, the conference is for us all, and we'd like you to have some involvement in shaping it. I'm attaching an updated 'Invitation to contribute' with new deadline for you to consider and distribute. Gillian and I (the organising group's financial sub-committee) are meeting next week to hopefully finalise the costs and sliding scale, so I hope to send out information about that very soon. Best wishes, and please bring on the ideas!
