Hello
SCRA community!
Our
Southeast ECO conference team is ready to rock on October 28th now
that we have confirmation our camping area and cabins have survived Hurricane
Irma. Due to the storm and the delay it caused we have extended our call for
proposals and early bird registration until October 5th.
This
years conference is being hosted by The Engagement Power and Social Action
Research Team out of the University of Miami along with our Community
Well-Being PhD program, Community and Social Change MA program and our
undergraduate program in Human and Social Development. This year’s ECO will be
some fun in the sun, with a camping kind of ECO vibe, that will celebrate
and highlight the many ‘Community Psychologies’ found in the Southeast and
beyond. With our conference theme CP Rising: Multiple Community
Psychologies for Social Change, this conference will comprise
traditional conference presentations for you to share your research, an
engaged skill share methodology session, and of course a few sprinkles of
Miami magic.
Find
our Call for Proposals here (Deadline
extended until October 5th)
And
don’t forget to register Here!
(Early bird registration has been extended until October 5th). **Housing
options for the weekend include free tent camping, a 10$ charge for cabin
camping or the option to stay in nearby hotels (group rates will be posted
online in the coming days)**.
We
invite you all to join us in Miami for this day full of co-learning and
creating as we continue the long history of ECO with our fellow Southeast
family. All are welcome!
***A little note about this years theme***
Community
Psychology has deep and diverse theoretical, paradigmatic and historical roots
that inform the ways we craft our research questions, build new theory,
engage with participants and communities, and where and how we can and
ought to step into the fray of social change work. This years ECO conference
aims to highlight this multiplicity in our field - critical community
psychology, ecological and cultural community psychology, prevention and
community science, feminist community psychology, and many more as yet
unnamed threads of our field that together have the potential to weave a
transformative fabric towards racial, economic, environmental and gender
justice in our communities and society.
Will you stand with us? In each of our proposal formats (posters, skillshares and roundtables) you are being asked to reflect on YOUR community psychology and to find a way to creatively share with other conference attendees how this framing, theory, paradigm and/or methodology shapes your work. Let’s learn and teach across our different and complementary (or perhaps contradictory?!) ways of understanding and doing Community Psychology.
All the best,
