Conference Theme and SubThemes

CONFERENCE THEME

The conference theme, “Caribbean Psychology: Unmasking the Past and Claiming Our Future,” reflects an acknowledgement of psychology as a product of time and place that has a significant responsibiity to the societies in which it exists. Situated as we are in a region where collective and individual psychological functioning reflects our social cultural origins, history, geography, climate and natural resources, and given our particular socio-political circumstances on the global sphere, psychological science is in a unique position to apply scholarly expertise to "give voice."
