Aims of the Conference:
Organised by members of the CCP-YRN this interactive conference aims to build on the founding goals of the network:
1. Connect: Bring together junior researchers with an interest in the area of cultural clinical and clinical psychology, particularly focusing on promoting academic interactions, interdisciplinary exchange, and networking for junior researchers.
2. Share: Build connections for collaborations, as well as knowledge and resource sharing, which helps to strengthen the capacity of junior researchers.
3. Inspire: Develop a supportive community of young researchers to foster creative and innovative research ideas, and support the academic careers and research activities of junior researchers.
This conference aims to facilitate a more in-depth understanding of cultural clinical psychology topics, provide insight into academic and clinical experiences in cultural clinical psychology, facilitate knowledge exchange between junior and senior researchers in psychology, and provide hands-on-training in relevant research areas. More specifically:
-
Facilitate learning on key topics in cultural and clinical psychology through expert-led talks and interactive workshops
-
Promote the capabilities and careers of junior researchers by enhancing relevant methodological and technical skills - including workshops on qualitative and quantitative methods and analysis, academic writing (e.g. thesis, manuscript, grant writing); tailored to the needs and research stages of the registered attendees.
-
Gain a better understanding of the various career pathways and options in research, academia, and practice in cultural and clinical psychology through panel discussions and small-group sessions with a variety of experts in these areas.
-
Receive peer and expert feedback on own research through poster sessions in which junior researchers have the opportunity to present and discuss their projects in detail, receive multiple perspectives and feedback, and gain presentation experience.
-
Acknowledge and address the stresses of junior researchers through open discussions with peers on the various stresses encountered in research and academia by junior researchers, an interactive workshop on stress and accessible support options, and active participation in mindfulness sessions.
-
Integration of junior researchers into the research network of the CCP-YRN - to foster academic collaboration and knowledge exchange on cultural and clinical research topics, varied methodologies, as well as practical peer-led help and advice.
