AWP2005Conference

Feminist Psychology: Future Tense

"Feminist Psychology: Future Tense," the 2005 Association for Women in Psychology Conference to be held in Tampa, Florida, from February 24-27, addresses the consequences for and creative responses of women in the current political climate. As an organization committed to feminist activism and advocacy, a need exists to focus on what feminist psychologists as well as feminist academics might do to address the crises of war and the impact on women of national and worldwide political currents.

Papers that especially are sought are those that offer either a forward project concerning feminist psychology or retrospective insights into the field or AWP; feminist research science; and those that make recommendations for social change. Traditional and innovative research in all fields of psychology that has implications for understanding or improving women's status is welcome. In addition, we are seeking submissions that will address globalization and women's mental health, psychological issues related to Latin American and Caribbean women; behavioral health needs of grassroots women; how women's identities inform their political participation; how technology is used to undermine democratic responsibility and feminist ethical responsibilities to the issues; feminist psychology and the waves of feminism; and the continuing problem of the denigration of feminist movement.

Paper, workshops, posters and panels are also being accepted on the changing role of women in the past thirty years; current pressures on women; patriarchal models, feminist models in research, activism, therapy, and policy; behavioral health needs of grassroots women; mother figures as therapists; transformations in the curriculum of psychology and counseling students; teaching feminist science and psychology; sexuality; lesbianism; feminist interventions into teen pregnancy, drug abuse, domestic violence; communication of feminism across generations; men's involvement in feminist psychology; efficacy/outcome and process studies of feminist therapy; what is feminist psychology and what does it mean to be a feminist scholar.

Proposal deadline extended to Friday, October 8, 2004
