The 11th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology provides an exciting opportunity for health psychologists and scholars from related disciplines to explore ongoing and emerging issues in critical theory and practice in relation to health and health care. Attendance is therefore welcomed from scholars in any discipline with a critical orientation to the field of health. The conference also welcomes and encourages students and emerging researchers.

The Organising Committee of the 11th Biennial conference encourage abstract submissions that take a critical approach to any health-related research topic. The Organising Committee welcome submissions in formats other than individual oral presentations. When submitting an abstract you can select from the options of a 5-minute challenge talk, a Pecha Kucha talk, an e-poster, an individual oral presentation of 15 minutes, or a symposium of oral presentations on a relevant theme of your choosing. We aim to programme the invited 5-minute challenges and Pecha Kucha sessions as plenaries. For more information about these short format talks, see the ISCHP blogpost “Telling it briefly“. E-posters will be displayed at the conference and on the conference website. As well as an exciting academic programme there will be a lively social programme and pre-conference workshops.
