“Psychosocial Reflections on a Half Century of Cultural Revolution:
The 50th anniversary of seasons of love and protest”

Now with new Open Stream on “ New Directions in Psychosocial Studies”

Keynote Speakers
Gail Lewis (Birkbeck, UK)
Sally Alexander (Goldsmiths, UK)
Lynne Segal (Birkbeck UK)
Liz Frost (UWE, UK)
Barry Richards (Bournemouth University, UK)

Join us to reflect on revolutionary relationships and politics which challenged authority then and which influence us now. The cultural forces and the political movements of 1967 and 1968 aimed to change the world, and did so. Where are we now? Recent developments of some populist and protest politics could be seen as a continuation of the revolutionary movements in the 1960s. Hedonic themes that recall the summer of love suffuse contemporary life, and self-reflection and emotional literacy have also become prominent values, along with more positive attitudes towards human diversity and the international community. We invite you to offer psychosocial analyses of the development and legacy today of the 'revolutions' in sex, personal life and politics. This could be via explorations of contemporary issues in politics, culture and artistic expression, or through historical studies. All proposals for papers must indicate how they address both psychological and social dimensions of their topic.

Due to popular demand, we have added a new open stream, for those who wish to submit proposals for papers, panels or visual art presentations on
“Current and New Directions in Psychosocial Studies”
