Call for Papers
10th Annual Conference of the APS Psychology of Relationships Interest Group (PORIG)
QUT Kelvin Grove
Brisbane, Queensland 6-7 November 2010

Conference Chair: Dr Zoe Hazelwood

The Conference Committee for the 2010 Annual Conference of the APS Psychology of Relationships Interest Group is now calling for submissions for the conference program. Abstracts for individual papers, posters, symposia, workshops or professional fora are invited to be submitted by Friday, 9 July 2010. The Interest Group has traditionally adopted a broad definition of ‘relationship’, and we welcome submissions from academics, practitioners and students. This year’s theme is “Building resilience: Through personal, family and community relationships” and the Organising Committee are very interested in receiving submissions that address this theme (although all submissions will be considered).

This submission form should be used to submit an abstract to the Organising Committee. This is an interactive PDF that you can use (and circulate to others) to make submissions for our Conference this year. Once you have completed the form, please select either to submit the form via email (preferred option) or print the form. If you elect ‘Submit Form’ it will automatically be emailed to me (this might take a few minutes – it will depend on your system and how ‘clunky’ it is). Once your email is received, you should receive a reply letting you know your submission has been received. Please note this automatic reply is only generated after your email has been read and thus there may be a slight delay before a confirmation email is sent.

I would appreciate if you could please circulate this notice to all who may be interested in attending and/or presenting at our Conference. The registration process will occur via the Interest Group’s website (http://www.groups.psychology.org.au/porig/) and will become available in the coming months. Please check the website for regular updates. We are also currently finalising the details for our keynote speakers and hope to have information to you about this very shortly!! Looking forward to seeing you in Brisbane in November.
