PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS:

Right before the official start of the conference, we invite you to take part in our pre-conference workshops on July 31st and August 1st. We will be offering a variety of half-day and full-day workshops and invite you to use this incredible opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in cross-cultural research!

Below we briefly introduce two of our exciting pre-conference workshops and then we present a table with the schedule and event links for registration:

A Social Identity Model of Trauma and Resilience

Facilitators: Professor Orla Muldoon, Dr. Aisling O Donnell, and Sarah Jay         

In this workshop we draw on research that shows group memberships, and the social identities we derive from them, are central to our health and wellbeing. As such, stress, and experience of adversity, are more than the concern of individuals as individuals. Rather, it is as group members that people respond to trauma. This means that social identities are more than “demographic” risk factors. We highlight how attributes of group memberships such as groups’ status and their access to justice, are important in understanding adjustment and adaptation to trauma. Also, group level trust and solidary support individual-level psychological resilience. 

The importance of intercultural competence when fighting for social justice on the media.

Facilitators: Beatriz Gomez Moreno and Mamobo Ogoro.                

While Ireland grapples with the new and existing multicultural reality, it is buckling under the weight of toxic polarisation, high mistrust towards the ‘other’, and out-group scapegoating—divisions that are now being exploited in online and social media spaces.

Through research experience in the study of social psychology, intergroup relations and intercultural competence, and real-world experience through programmes in social enterprise GORM, this workshop shows the power of intercultural competence when fighting for social justice on the media and provides a practical guide to effectively engaging across lines of difference in a social media environment. These tools are needed when applying cross-cultural psychology in the modern technological world, and breaking down polarisation online.
