Calls for Papers
MiW Radio Seminars MiWNet, the Media & the Inner World Research Network in collaboration with the University of East London, Roehampton University and London Metropolitan University, is organizing a series of three seminars on radio to be held at each university in early December, March and June.
The MiW seminars will bring together academics, psychotherapists and media professionals for a series of discussions about the role of emotion and ideas of therapy in radio cultures. We are interested in contributions which examine the intentions and practices of radio producers and writers, as well as the affective dynamics and meanings of radio for listeners and producers.
Contributions to each seminar will be grouped around separate themes which will largely depend on the response to this call, but we are provisionally thinking of ‘Radio and Music’, ‘Radio Connecting Communities’ and ‘Radio and Histories’. The seminars will be held in the late afternoon and run for two hours.
Times and locations to be confirmed; dates likely to be Wednesday 8th December (Roehampton), Wednesday 30th March (London Metropolitan) and Wednesday 22nd June (UEL).
Proposals not exceeding 250 words to p.lewis@londonmet.ac.uk and h.ortegabreton@surrey.ac.uk by close of play on Friday 19th November.
Jointly organised by Peter Lewis, London Metropolitan University and Hugh Ortega Breton, University of Surrey on behalf of the Media & the Inner World Research Network.
“The Psychosocial Imagination[i]” On behalf of the Psychosocial Studies Network Conference Organising Committee, we would like to invite papers for the: 3rd Psychosocial Studies Network Conference The University of East London, Docklands Campus Thursday 28th January and Friday 29th January 2010 The Conference builds on the last two successful annual events of the Network. This year we aim to link researchers for presentation and discussion of specific examples of psychosocial research, theoretical and / or empirical. Papers are welcome from any perspective within the new field of Psychosocial Studies, including submissions that relate to practice-based or practice-informed research, e.g. education, social work and social care, the arts, media, and the clinic. Concern with the nature of agency and intentionality, and discussions of the place of discourse, ethics and politics, affect and the unconscious, continue to characterise psychosocial research. Submissions may wish to link to one or more of the emerging themes in psychosocial studies which have been the subject of debate:

Concern with the nature of agency and intentionality, and discussions of the place of discourse, ethics and politics, affect and the unconscious, continue to characterise psychosocial research. Submissions may wish to link to one or more of the emerging themes in psychosocial studies which have been the subject of debate:
- Psychosocial Studies as a political / radical / ethical project
- What is the ‘object of study’ of psychosocial studies – is it the nature of subjectivity and subjecthood?
- The possibilities for psychosocial welfare
- Psychosocial Studies as an (epi?)phenomenon of ‘therapy culture’
- Psychosocial study as a way of seeing, an effort of imagination, a particular sensibility
[i] Using C Wright Mills’ description of the ‘sociological imagination’ as ‘…a quality of mind that “seems most dramatically to promise an understanding of the internal realities of ourselves in connection with larger social realities”, Joanne Brown (2006) refers to the ‘psychosocial imagination’ as exploring this connection without seeking to reduce the psychological to the social; the aim is to explore the ‘dialectic relation between social and psychic change'
