CALL FOR PROPOSALS
International Psychohistorical Association's 45th Annual Conference
May 19-21, 2022, New York City and virtual
Conference proposals may address but are not limited to the following theme and sub-themes:
GROUP IDENTITY AND THE SOURCES OF CONFLICT
SUBTHEMES:
-
Pandemic stress and the many faces of suicide
-
Psychodynamics of Race Relations
-
Intergenerational trauma, guilt, and conflict
-
Climate change, global conflict, and species consciousness
Political, racial, religious, and other large group identities and belief systems are being challenged as never before in our era of globalization. Conflicts include white supremacism vs. multicultural solidarity; resurgent patriarchy vs. gender diversity and equality; authoritarianism vs. democracy; science denial (on pandemics and climate change) vs. science-informed policy and activism; and more. Some of the questions we ask are:
-
How should we understand the psychodynamics of conflict in its many forms?
-
What are the sources of group identities in childhood experience and later socialization?
-
How can we handle conflict to facilitate individual and collective healing?
All presenters and attendees can choose to participate virtually or in person. We welcome submissions covering any and all psychohistorically informed topics beyond the conference themes.
Proposals consist of your name, presentational title, and an abstract of 50-100 words. Email your proposal to 2022 IPA conference committee, international...@gmail.com
