Conferences

This conference examines the increasingly potent role of apology as a social force. We will explore in a comparative and interdisciplinary framework the role and function–as well as the limitations–that apology has in promoting dialogue, tolerance, and cooperation between groups confronting one another over past injustices. Our aim is to facilitate an exchange among scholars and students in a variety of disciplines–including history, international relations, sociology, legal studies, psychology, and religion–so that we can better understand the real and symbolic transactions that lie at the core of apology.

Featured speakers will include:
Roy Brooks, Professor of Law, University of San Diego.
Neil Kritz, Director, Rule of Law Program, United States Institute of Peace.
Melissa Nobles, Professor of Political Science, MIT.
Robert Rotberg, Director of the World Peace Foundation Program on Intrastate Conflict,
Conflict Prevention, and Conflict Resolution, Harvard University.
Ruti Teitel, Professor of Comparative Law, New York Law School.
Vamik Volkan, Director, Study of the Mind and Human Interaction, University of Virginia.

The 32nd Annual Scholars’ Conference will convene at Kean University, Union, New Jersey. The theme of the conference will explore the knotty, if not complicitous, relationship between literate civilization and genocidal, mass murder; how educated and cultivated individuals become implicated in methodical plunder, terror, and relentless human destruction. Consideration of rescuers and resisters--contemporaries who charted a different course within the dark world of educated evil--will provide contrasting shades of insight into the genocidal mind. The conference theme mandates committed self-examination of the teaching and humanizing enterprises of our time-the professions that are singularly dedicated to nurturing sociaety's best and brightest.

If you would like more information about the pre-and post conference events or how to register please call the Kean University Conference office at +1 908/527-2376 or The Scholars' Conference office at +1 610/6601240.

Call for Papers

Auf der Gemeinsamen Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft fuer Medizinische Soziologie (DGMS) und der Deutschen Gesellschaft fuer Sozialmedizin und Praevention (DGSMP) vom 25. bis 28.09.2002 in Halle/Saale veranstaltet die AG "Geschichte von Sozialhygiene, Sozialmedizin und Public Health" der DGSMP folgende Sektion:

Gesundheitspolitische Positionen zur "Oeffentlichen Gesundheitspflege" und zum "Gesundheitsschutz" von der Weimarer Republik bis in die fruehe Nachkriegszeit

In den 20er Jahren waren weite Teile der Bevoelkerung in die Sozialversicherung, insbesondere in die Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung einbezogen. Die "Oeffentliche Gesundheitspflege" wurde auf kommunaler Ebene durch den Ausbau staatlicher und zeitweise auch durch die von den Kassen getragene Beratungs- und Behandlungsstellen verstaerkt. Beide Entwicklungen wurden durch die sozialdemokratischen und kommunistischen Parteien sowie nicht organisierte, der Arbeiterbewegung nahe stehende AErzte (VSAE) unterstuetzt und umgesetzt. Diese Entwicklung fand 1933 ein Ende. Waehrend des Nationalsozialismus erfolgte eine Ausweitung des versicherungspflichtigen Bevoelkerungsanteils bei gleichzeitiger Aufgabe der Selbstverwaltung durch die Versicherten und bei Ausgrenzung politisch und rassisch diskriminierter Bevoelkerungsgruppen bis hin zu deren Vernichtung. Beratungs- und Behandlungsstellen der ambulanten Versorgung ausserhalb der aerztlichen Praxen wurden abgeschafft - und allenfalls zur Notversorgung in den letzten Kriegsmonaten wieder eroeffnet.

Bei der Neustrukturierung des Gesundheitswesens nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg formulierten Parteien und Interessenvertreter unterschiedliche Positionen. Neuere Forschungsergebnisse zum Gesundheitswesen der Nachkriegszeit zeigen, dass in der SBZ und DDR sozialdemokratische Vorschlaege und Forderungen zur Sozial- und Gesundheitspolitik nicht nur bestimmend waren, sondern gemeinsam mit den Mitgliedern der kommunistischen Partei, nunmehr durch die SED, umgesetzt wurden. Entsprechende Konzepte finden sich auch in der westdeutschen SPD bis zum Beginn der fuenfziger Jahre. Sie kamen jedoch gesundheitspolitisch nicht zum Tragen.

In der Sektion sollen unterschiedliche gesundheitspolitische Konzepte von Parteien, Einzelpersonen und Interessenvertretungen seit der Weimarer Republik vorgestellt werden. Programmatik wie Fragen der Umsetzung dieser Ideen stehen zur Diskussion. Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten sowohl sozialdemokratischer und kommunistischer wie auch buergerlicher und christlich konservativer Sozial- und Gesundheitspolitiker sowie die Frage nach der Umorientierung der westdeutschen Sozialdemokratie gegenueber der Vorkriegszeit sollen im Mittelpunkt stehen.

Die Struktur der Sektion lehnt sich an die Vorgaben der Veranstalter der Haupttagung an. Wir moechten einer jeweils 15minuetigen Praesentation eine gleich lange Diskussionszeit folgen lassen. Die Auswahl der Beitraege erfolgt durch uns.

Wir bitten um baldige Anmeldung und Einsendung eines "Abstracts" von ca. 30 Zeilen bis spaetestens zum 18. Maerz 2002:

Marking the launch of a new annual conference, research and publication series, this inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary project aims to explore the processes by which we attempt to create meaning in health, illness and disease. The project will also examine the models we use to understand our experiences of health and illness (looking particularly at perceptions of the body), and to evaluate the diversity of ways in which we creatively struggle to make sense of such experiences and express ourselves across a range of media.

The Global Review of Ethnopolitics (www.ethnopolitics.org) is a new authoritative peer-reviewed online journal that establishes a forum for serious debate and exchange on one of the phenomena that had a decisive impact during the last decades of the 20th century and will continue to be of great importance in the new millennium. The journal will give a voice to established as well as younger researchers and analysts from academic as well as practitioner backgrounds. We publish original work of the highest quality in the field of ethnopolitics with methodological approaches covering mainly the disciplines of political science and international relations and taking primarily a contemporary, current affairs perspective.

The journal maintains a fair balance between theoretical analyses of these matters and case studies both of comparative as well as singular nature, covering all geographic areas. The major focus is on the analysis, management, settlement, and prevention of ethnic conflicts, on minority rights, group identity, the intersection of identity group formations and politics, on minority and majority nationalisms in the context of democratisation, and on the security and stability of states and regions as they are affected by any of the above issues. Particular attention is also devoted to the growing importance of international influences on ethnopolitics. Such influences include external diplomatic or military intervention, as well as the increasing impact of globalisation on ethnic identities and their political expressions.

Managed by a team of four editors in the United Kingdom and the United States, the quality of each individual article and issue of the journal is ensured through the support of an editorial board and an international advisory board consisting of some of the most prolific scholars in the field.

The journal is generously supported by grants from the Canadian Themis Foundation, Inc., the Swiss-based International Relations and Security Network, the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and receives additional support from the Specialist Group on Ethnic Politics of the Political Studies Association of the UK.

Submission of papers

Within the scope of journal identified above, we invite the submission of original papers (6,000-8,000 words), research notes (2,000-4,000 words), review essays (3,000-4,000 words) and reviews (800-1,000 words). Copyright of all accepted and published submissions remains with authors, and we do not object to subsequent publication elsewhere.

A detailed style guide is available at
URL http://www.ethnopolitics.org/styleguide.html

All submissions (MS Word for Windows 95 or later versions, 12 pt, double spaced, consecutive page numbers) should be emailed as attachment to Stefan Wolff (s.wolff@bath.ac.uk) AND Karl Cordell (k.cordell@plymouth.ac.uk).

Program Overview:
This innovative workshop will examine the relevance of using helping models from developing countries with long-standing conflict in the work with communities in New York City affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In particular, comprehensive community-based psychosocial and mental health interventions developed in Uganda, Sudan and Burundi, to assist populations affected by violence will be examined. These build on the natural strengths of the traditional African society, empowering families and communities to manage members' psychosocial concerns.

Topics to be discussed include:
- Effect of mass community education about psychosocial and mental health issues on community values and attitudes
- Implementation of community crisis intervention teams and their effectiveness in reducing deaths by suicide and controlling family and community violence
- Effect of recreation and cultural activities on enhancing the self-esteem of youth and promoting peace and reconciliation between warring tribes.
- Use of story-telling to promote family communication about traumatic events and facilitate healing.
- Effects of spirituality and traditional belief on emotional well-being.
- "Cascade" of training approach which promotes community self-help.

Discussion will focus on reasons for these interventions' effectiveness in the African context, and on how the underlying principles and techniques can provide useful direction for community interventions with violence-affected and refugee populations in the U.S. Nancy Baron received her Doctorate in Education at the University of Massachusetts in Family Therapy and Counseling Psychology. For the past 12 years, she has lived and worked in war-torn countries, including Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Indonesia. She is, at present, the Psychosocial Advisor for the Transcultural Psycho-Social Organization (TPO), a Dutch non-governmental organization specializing in community based psycho-social and mental health work with victims of war. Currently based in Africa, Dr. Baron coordinates programs for refugees and internally displaced people in Uganda, Southern Sudan and Burundi.

This workshop is partially funded by a grant from the Office of Refugee Resettlement, US Department of Health and Human Services.

The Ground Zero Community Initiative is a grass roots, ITSP-sponsored, community-strengthening project supporting families and educators in the downtown school communities most affected by the 9/11 events.

Can we study psychoanalytic outcome in truly psychoanalytic ways?

Discussant: Dr David Taylor

Professor Dr Leuzinger-Bohleber will describe her very large follow-up study of psychoanalyses in Germany, in which former patients were interviewed some years after termination, by analysts from other cities, using two psychoanalytic interviews, supervision and extensive case discussion. The psychoanalysts who had treated the cases (and who, together with the patients, had all agreed to be included) were also interviewed about them. Professor Dr Leuzinger-Bohleber will focus on one part of the study, in which the interviews with ex-patients, and the transference-counter-transference experiences they evoked, were systematically studied. Qualitative and conceptual methods were used to draw clinically-relevant conclusions about the changes that took place during and after these analyses, and some observations could be made - with hindsight and across cases - about assessment, technique, patient-analyst match, trauma and other aspects of pathology.

Fee £10 payable on the door (British Society members and all students £5)

Special Presentation

Beyond the self: Dimensions of a post-traumatic stress disorder narrative
By Kate Collie

Abstract: At the core is a story of war trauma, but what you'll see unfold in this slide presentation is the intertwining of several interconnected stories of healing through art - healing through creating one's own visual narrative and healing through having one's story made visible by someone else.
Presenter: Kate Collie is an artist and a counselor who, as a doctoral candidate at UBC is conducting research about art therapy and cancer care. She is also a research assistant with the Narrative research group.

"From within our lives together": On narrative and performance, art and experience in later life
By Pam Brett-MacLean

Abstract: In this presentation I describe an experience I had over a period of several months of working with seniors who had organized a theatre/poetry reading group in a retirement home setting. Each week we explored the "play" within the plays we read/rehearsed each week, which culminated in a performance of excerpts from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Ernest" that other residents of the retirement home attended. We later shared reflections on our experience, which were later portrayed in an open-ended collage representation of photos, text and artifacts. I will offer some reflections on this experience in relation to the importance of aesthetic experiences (Dewey, 1934), the "narrative turn" in social science research (that has promoted alternative forms of inquiry and representation), and the notion of a "relational" inquiry.
Presenter: Pam Brett-MacLean is a doctoral student within the Individual Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program, and the Institute of Health Promotion Research of the University of British Columbia. Her research is focused on the importance of creative experience in later life. She has recently moved to Edmonton, Alberta and is a Visiting Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the International Institute for Qualitative Methodology. Pam was also a research assistant with the Narrative research group while living in Vancouver.

Fit for Deportation? Instrumentalisierung der Aerzteschaft im Spannungsfeld zwischen Behandlung und Abschiebung [in German]
25.03.2002, 20 Uhr, Fortbildungsakademie der Aerztekammer, Lerchenfeld 14, 22081 Hamburg

Die Referentin Eva N. Reichelt ist Aerztin fuer Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie in Berlin.
Sie arbeitet mit traumatisierten Patienten, die oft erst nach langer Zeit geeignete aerztliche, psychologische und psychotherapeutische Hilfe bekommen. Aerzte und Psychologen kennen sich zu wenig aus in der Erkennung von Folterspuren und Traumatisierung; Fluechtlinge sind stumm, erstarrt und misstrauisch in ihrem chronischen Schmerz- und Apathiezustand. Sie haben sich zurueckgezogen und muessen erleben, dass sie in dem Land, in dem sie Hilfe gesucht und Aufenthalt erhalten haben, nicht zur Ruhe kommen duerfen.
Eva Reichelt berichtet von den Muehen, Verfolgten und Traumatisierten wieder zu einem menschenwuerdigen Leben zu verhelfen. Dabei muss sie oft erfahren, dass sie durch Behoerden und politisch wirksame administrative Aktivitaeten behindert wird. Soll sie Patienten fit machen fuer die Abschiebung? Oder muss sie sich als verantwortliche Aerztin dafuer einsetzen, die erneut in Leben und Gesundheit Bedrohten zu verteidigen und fuer deren Aufenthaltsrecht zu kaempfen, damit es ueberhaupt erst einmal zu einer Beruhigung und Ausheilung kommen kann? - So enthaelt die aerztliche und psychotherapeutische Situation in jedem Moment das Element der Verfolgung - auch durch das Land, in dem der Fluechtling voruebergehend Schutz zu finden hoffte.

Facing History and Ourselves is based on the belief that education in a democracy must be what Alexis de Tocqueville called "an apprenticeship in liberty." Facing History helps students find meaning in the past and recognize the need for participation and responsible decision making.
Students must know not only the triumphs of history, but also the failures, the tragedies and the humiliations. Facing History believes that students must be trusted to examine history in all of its complexities, including its legacies of prejudice and discrimination, resilience and courage. This trust encourages young people to develop a voice in the conversations of their peer culture, as well as in the critical discussions and debates of their community and nation.

Announcing a new web-journal and resource bank at >http://barthes.ens.fr/clio/actes.html<, created by the Groupe de recherches Socio-historiques (Research Group on Socio-history) at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. The journal is entitled "Actes de l'histoire de l'immigration" (Proceedings on the History of Immigration).

"Actes" is unique because in addition to housing traditional articles on the history of immigration (focusing primarily on France but with articles on other countries as well),
the journal also makes use of the unique capabilities of the web to provide resources not available elsewhere.
