CfP Critical Health Psychology (http://criticalpsychology.wordpress.com #cfp #criticalpsychology #health) Call for Papers: 8th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology; Bradford, UK; 22-24 July 2013

Call for Papers: 8th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology; Bradford, UK; 22-24 July 2013

The 8th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical  Health Psychology (ISCHP) will be held at the University of Bradford  in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, 22nd-24th July 2013  http://www.bradford.ac.uk/ssis/ischp/ 

This conference is being organised by a consortium comprising the universities of Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds Metropolitan and Manchester Metropolitan. Held every two years, the ISCHP conference provides an opportunity to explore ongoing and emerging issues in critical research, critical theory and critical practice in relation to health and health care. As well as a growing body of critical health psychologists, it attracts a wide range of others, including: health service providers, users and activists and students and scholars in a diversity of disciplines that take a critical orientation to health, illness and healthcare.

We work hard to make ISCHP conferences collaborative and welcoming, offering 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. However, the conference programme goes well beyond the usual to include a diversity of presentation formats and a great social programme. ISCHP is especially committed to encouraging creativity and debate, and to supporting students, teachers and researchers starting out in this field.

The ISCHP 2013 conference will be a three-day meeting with workshops on 21st July before the academic programme and lots going on.
