2016 Second Transpersonal Research Colloquium
Research Models and Methods for Transpersonal Research
Sept 15-16, 2016, London, UK
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second Transpersonal Research Colloquium, TRC 2016, will be held on September 15-16, 2016 in the UK at Highgate House, an English country house in Northamptonshire. The TRC immediately precedes the 20th Annual Conference of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society (BPS) on September 17-18, 2016 at the same location. A few days later, on September 21-25, the 2016 EUROTAS Conference (http://www.eurotas2016.com/) takes place in Romania.
The mission of each annual Transpersonal Research Colloquium is to engage researchers worldwide in dialogue and training related to research methods and procedures that further the study of transpersonal, spiritual, and related topics. The theme for TRC 2016 is Research Models and Methods for Transpersonal Research. TRC 2016 will be co-sponsored by the EUROTAS Division of Transpersonal Research, Integral Transpersonal Institute, Transpersonal Consultancy, and the British Psychological Society Transpersonal Psychology Section.
Based on the success of TRC 2015 in Milan, Italy, the Transpersonal Research Network (TRN), www.transpersonalresearchnetwork.com, was founded by the four primary organizers: Rosemarie Anderson of Transpersonal Consultancy (www.transpersonalconsultancy.com) and Professor Emerita at Sofia University, Giovanna Calabrese and Regina U. Hess representing the EUROTAS Division of Transpersonal Research (http://eurotas.org/division-of-transpersonal-research-edtr/), and Pier Luigi Lattuada of the Integral Transpersonal Institute (www.integraltranspersonal.com). They are joined this year in organizing and hosting TRC 2016 by Les Lancaster, Professor Emeritus of Transpersonal Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University, UK, representing the British Psychological Society Transpersonal Section (http://www.bps.org.uk/networks-and-communities/member-microsite/transpersonal-psychology-section).
The presentation format will be collaborative and egalitarian giving each participant equal time to speak. Ample time will be provided for discussions and networking with other participants and for initiating collaborations for ongoing or newly created research projects. The final TRC 2016 program will be co-constructed depending on accepted proposals. TRC presenters are expected to attend both days of the TRC.
Participation in the colloquium will be open to professional researchers with PhDs, MDs, or doctoral candidates actively engaged in research. To apply for participation, kindly send us the following:
- An abstract of your work based on the conference theme, Research Models and Methods for Transpersonal Research (200 words in English)
- Short bio including research background (100-200 words in English)
- A head-shot photo of you
- We would like to include your abstract as public information on the TRN website. Therefore, let us know if this is acceptable to you in your application materials.
Deadline for submission of application: June 15, 2016. Submit your application materials to info@transpersonalresearchnetwork.com. You will receive a response to your application by July 15, 2016, and full details for registration will be included.
