Conference on The Psychology of Race/Ethnicity, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Disability
Message from Eileen R. Borris, President APA Division 48:
A National Multicultural Conference and Summit, 2005, is to be held
at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California on January 27-28th.
The conference theme is "The Psychology of Race/Ethnicity, Gender,
Sexual Orientation, and Disability: What works, with whom and Under what
Circumstances."
The conference has been designed to address issues
related to research, education and training, practice and public
interest. The conference/summit brings together outstanding
psychologists who have worked in the areas of race relations and
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and disability. For more
information ant to register you can go to www.multiculturalsummit.org.
Our division along with the other divisions for social justice have been involved in the planning of this conference and we want to show our support. Please consider attending. The theme is much in keeping with what division 48 is about. This is a wonderful way to meet people from other like minded divisions and to share what we as peace psychologists can offer especially with the divisions for social justice.
Also another reminder. Because of circumstances out of our control the
fall newsletter and fall mailing is getting out late. There is some
timely information to be aware of. This Friday is the deadline to submit
proposals for the 2005 convention in Washington DC. I hope that you will
submit proposals. We want to hear from as many people as possible. Don't
forget to give as many votes as you can for division 48 for the
apportionment ballot. The outcome of this Apportionment Ballot will
determine the composition of the Council of Representatives. Our
division needs your vote. You have a total of 10 votes to cast.
Since the division listserv unfortunately does not include all of our
members, please feel free to forward this message to those you think
have not received it or to post this on relevant listservs. We want to
get the message out.
Thank-you!
Warmly,
Eileen R. Borris
President - Division 48
