ICCP Speaker Series Event

The Institute for Cultural-Clinical Psychology and IACCP are hosting a series of virtual lectures in the hopes of building an international interest group focused on topics related to culture and mental health. Invited speakers will share significant contributions they have made to this field and provide their perspective on the interrelation of culture and mental health. Also, we hope to promote multidisciplinary perspectives on culture and mental health, especially to psychologists, while ensuring representation and equity in our series. This speaker series is supported by IACCP (International Association of Cross-Cultural Psychology) and the Department of Psychology at Concordia University, and the lecture will be open to all who are interested. This initiative is coordinated by the student members of our institute.

Each event will be two hours in length. The first hour will involve a traditional colloquium presentation, followed by a Q&A session. This hour will be completely open. The second hour will involve a guided discussion with our presenter, allowing participants to go ‘behind the scenes’ with an expert in cultural-clinical psychology. In future, this second hour will be restricted to members of the IACCP special interest group on cultural-clinical psychology. During our first year, however, we will open this discussion to any attendee who would potentially be interested in joining this group in the future.
