Some of this conference sounds close to the concerns of this list.

Call for Papers Biennial Conference of the International Society for
Theoretical Psychology 2011 in Thessaloniki
14th Biennial Conference of the International Society for Theoretical
Psychology 2011 in Thessaloniki, Greece (27 June - 1 July, 2011)
Doing Psychology Under New Conditions
The ISTP conference offers a welcoming venue for contributions from all
currents in and approaches to theoretical psychology. These could
include
such approaches as activity theory, anthropological psychology,
cognitive
science, critical psychology, cultural psychology, developmental theory,
ecological psychology, epistemology, ethics, evolutionary psychology,
feminist psychology, hermeneutics, history of psychology, indigenous
psychologies, phenomenology, philosophical psychology, postcolonial
theory,
postmodern psychology, psychoanalytic theory, social constructionism,
systems
theory, theoretical neuroscience, and theory of psychological practice.
As such this ISTP conference will once again be a vibrant meeting place
for
psychologists and scholars from other disciplines to debate ongoing and
emergent themes in contemporary theory and practice. The conference
offers a
venue for contributing to a trans-national and trans-disciplinary
discussion,
and for generating collaborations with colleagues from all over the
world.
Besides welcoming contributions from all areas of theoretical
psychology, we
also specifically invite contributions that reflect on the conference
theme,
'Doing psychology under new conditions'. In this regard it may be noted
that
we are presently facing new structural conditions on a global scale
together
with the dismantling of some familiar social fabrics. Such changes
affect the
practices of research and education at our universities, which means
psychologists are increasingly challenged to consider if and how they
can
align their practices with these new conditions.
With this background in mind, we specifically invite contributions that
reflect on the breadth of contemporary ways of doing psychology (from
neuroscience through behavioural genetics, evolutionary psychology,
psychoanalysis, discourse analysis to materialistic and historical
approaches
to psychology) and on the specific social and historical conditions that
give
rise to these approaches to psychological theory and practice. More
specifically, the conference aims to provide a forum for discussions
that
will deepen our understanding of the links between psychological theory
and
the social practice of psychology in the world today. Some of the
guiding
questions may include the following:
*In the 20th century, psychology's social functions largely pertained to
the
governance of labor power and the social integration/exclusion of
individuals. Have these functions changed now in the 21st century, in
the era
of "New Subjectivities", and if so how?
*Are psychological research, practice and theory today about the
inhabitance
of new market niches?
*What is the relevance of theoretical psychology at this time of rapid
social
change and standstill? How can theoretical psychology contribute to the
emerging transnational landscape?
*How can we account for psychologists as agents in producing psychology
and
for the many others as agents in using psychology?
*How do debates and discussions in theoretical psychology resonate with
the
practical concerns of the discipline?
*How do recent formulations of how research and practice are best
undertaken
(such as ideas about evidence-based research/practice or
science-practitioner
models) affect the relationships between research and practice?
* How are questions about the role of theory in psychological praxis
opened
up, contested and debated?
* How does the work of psychologists who focus on educational and
working
regimes affect the theoretical debates of the discipline? Are the
changing
contents and contexts of psychological work contributing to new
connections
between psychological practice and theory?
The conference will be hosted in the Department of Primary Education,
Aristotle University of Thessalonica, Greece (www.istp2011.net).
The deadline for abstract submissions is 1 November 2010, but we will
consider earlier submissions in order to accommodate participants who

names, institutional affiliations and contact details (physical address,
fax
number and email) of each author.
Abstracts should also indicate whether the contribution will take the
form of
an oral presentation or a poster, and whether any audiovisual equipment
will
be required.
For symposia and roundtable discussions an abstract of no more than 250
