Bridging the Gap: Representation and Allyship
 
Call for Poster Presentation Proposals 
 
Our theme for this conference is Representation and Allyship. 
Our goal is to discuss, present, and facilitate conversations about diverse viewpoints currently being explored within the field.
We are seeking to explore the intersection of majority and minority voices within the field of psychology and the community at large.

Proposals may address but are not limited to, the following topics within representation and allyship: 
  • Intersectionality of racial, gender, disability, and sexual orientation identities
  • Issues pertaining to privilege and oppression within systems
  • Addressing intergenerational wounds amongst mental health professionals 
  • Allies experience navigating marginalized communities 
  • Defining and exploring the complexities of allyship, oppression and privilege
  • Social justice and equity issues
