i'm going to be a bit crass here (the socio-political context is that I've got 10 mins before getting the kids into bed), so hold on tight! I am all for ending war and critiqueing globalisation but what I'd find really helpful from a community psychology conference is some ideas about action! More specifically what can we offer in a positive way as psychologists, as opposed to generally bright, thoughtful Guardina readers, to movements for political and social change. Do the anti-globalisation and anti-war movements want us or need us as psychologists? would we more useful as general foot soldiers, going to marches and writing to our MPs? Has anyone asked organisations like Amnesty or Palestinian solidarity how they would like us to help. Or if? Perpetrators of torture manage to find good jobs for psychologists. what about the goodies?
