Invitation to contribute: UK Community Psychology Conference
The conference title is Change Challenges: A conference exploring the links between environment, equality, sustainability & community well-being on 1st - 2nd July 2010 at University of Plymouth, Roland Levinski building. The conference organisers believe that as psychologists they have a responsibility to contribute to government and community action to protect the environment. Ecological damage and climate change currently threaten continuing life on the planet. The immediate consequences of global warming particularly threaten the poorest and least resourced people in the world (and those least responsible for the problem). As psychologists, they should be contributing their knowledge and skills to support and help to progress the work of environmental scientists, campaigners and activists in areas such as energy stewardship, investment in public transport and encouraging sustainable consumption.
Contributions are particularly welcome on the following conference themes:
- Processes of change: social, cultural, political, behavioural, psychological
- Equality and social justice
- Climate change/environment
- Food: its availability/the way we grow it/its impact on global and individual physical & psychological well-being
Deadline: Friday 22nd January 2010
