Call for Papers
2011 Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology
Advancing critical approaches to health and health care
The 7th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology (ISCHP) will be held at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide, South Australia, 18 - 20 April, 2011.
The biennial ISCHP conference provides a vibrant opportunity for health psychologists and scholars from related disciplines to explore ongoing and emerging issues in critical theory and practice in relation to health and health care. Our conferences provide a significant platform for transcending the boundaries between health psychology and the whole range of user, professional and scholarly fields engaged in health services, care, policy and practice. Attendance is therefore welcomed from scholars in any discipline with a critical orientation to the field of health.
ISCHP conferences are collaborative and welcoming, and offer inspirational and high-quality presentations, including from many of the most respected critical health scholars from around the world and from a range of disciplines. ISCHP is especially committed to encouraging creativity and debate, and to supporting students, teachers and researchers starting out in this field.
The ISCHP 2011 conference will be a three-day meeting with workshops beforehand, with a range of presentation types intended to promote engagement, interaction, inspiration and mutual encouragement and support.
Conference themes
We welcome submissions on any topic or theme that takes a critical stance on any aspect of health or health care. At the same time, we will broadly organise the conference around five key themes:
* Time: health and health care in relation to life-events and life-stages, including child and family health
* Place: health and health care in relation to the different politics, economics and social geographies of location, including, especially, the impact of colonisation (i.e., upon Indigenous health), migration and transition
* Face: health and health care in relation to subjectivities and identities, including those relating to gender, sexuality and embodiment
* Governmentality: health and, especially, health care in relation to strategies of social control, including rhetorics of 'choice', 'risk', 'freedom' and 'consumption'
* Methods and methodology: exploring alternative and innovative ways of conducting research in the pursuit of critical interpretations of health and health care
What kinds of presentations will be included

* Paper presentations
* Symposia
