*PSYCHOSOCIAL BODIES – Call for Papers*

Join us for a diverse and creative conference exploring the theme of 
Psychosocial Bodies. The conference will take place over 2 days at the 
University of Essex campus in Wivenhoe Park in Colchester. The 
conference will include cultural and social events on Thursday evening 
for those delegates who are staying overnight in Essex student 
accommodation (£55pppn B&B) or travelling home later in the evening.

The theme Psychosocial Bodies intends to cover psychosocial thinking 
about identity and the body, as well as bodies of knowledge. Relevant 
topics to be explored might include: Identity, mind and body; Abject, 
disruptive, non-conforming, unmournable bodies; the ‘body betrayed’; 
Bodies as the site for resistance; Embodied knowledge; The body politic; 
Socially-situated bodies of knowledge; Decolonizing bodies of knowledge; 
virtual bodies; technologically modified bodies; cyborgs and/or 
disability studies.


*CALL FOR PAPERS* We are now inviting proposals for individual papers, 
workshops, panels and symposia (including a facilitated reading of a 
chosen core text) on topics and/or activities related to this broad 
theme. Please send a proposal of up to 350 words specifying;

workplace
