call for abstracts

The integration of computational modelling and clinical science work on repetitive negative thinking is at a critical junction; it is essential that diverse perspectives are integrated at this stage. The workshop will include 10 x 5 minute pre-recorded talks, curated to integrate diverse perspectives, with a particular focus on non-western researchers who are under-represented at RLDM.

We believe it is critical to include such perspectives in light of the history of narrow western conceptions of mental-health constructs proliferating and possibly causing harm (for example, in PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and various eating disorders; see, e.g., Hacking 1999; McNally 2005).

Please use this form to register your interest in providing a 5 minute pre-recorded talk for the workshop. If you are not able to access Google forms, please email Rachel (rlbedder@princeton.edu) directly for a copy of the questions.

The deadline for us to receive abstracts is Wednesday 4th May (anywhere on earth). We will notify all applicants by Monday 9th May as to whether we can accommodate your talk. If accepted, your pre-recorded talk must be received by the workshop organisers by Saturday 4th June

For further questions, please contact Rachel Bedder (rlbedder@princeton.edu) with the subject line 'RNT Workshop Abstract'.


FAQ

  1. Do I have to be registered for the RLDM full conference?

No. We will stream (and possibly record) the workshop so you will be able to listen to all of it virtually.

  1. I am already presenting at RLDM, can I also present at the workshop?

Yes


  1. Will I get to take part in the panel or ask questions?

The workshop will not be in a interactive hybrid format: the 5 minute talk speakers will be able to watch the workshop, but we will not be set up for them to directly interact with the in-person speakers or audience in real time. One exception to this is we may look into a way to incorporate questions from the speakers to the panel. The co-organisors having watched the pre-recorded talks in advance will look to make connections with the short talks in the discussion portions of the workshop.
