BAM2013 Conference: Managing to Make a Difference 10-12 September, 2013 Liverpool, United Kingdom The management of private and public institutions affects almost every aspect of our lives. However, narrowly defined conceptions of management place a premium on the rational pursuit of measurable, financial returns with limited amounts of regulation. Consequently, the dysfunctional effects of mainstream management are ignored and innovative forms of economic activity undertaken in pursuit of broader social goals are neglected. Private sector scandals in banking and the media as well as high-profile public sector failings in social services and hospitals have highlighted limitations associated with current management practices. Members of the Academy will be aware of the problems associated with a narrow focus on rational managerial solutions whether applied to research, teaching or engagement with business and other stakeholders. Therefore, based on the theme of ‘managing to make a difference’ the BAM community is invited to consider the wider implications of management.

Liverpool, ‘the original redbrick University’, makes a significant contribution to the changing fortunes of the City with 27,000 students and 5,000 staff including 1,400 academics and 800 researchers. The University of Liverpool Management School invites you to join an open and stimulating debate on the theme of ‘managing to make a difference’. Management School staff are excited by the prospect of hosting the BAM conference in 2013 and will ensure that it reflects the vibrancy, passion and good humour for which the City of Liverpool is famous.

This topic is currently an especially relevant and important one for two primary reasons. Firstly, the current zeitgeist is one of rationality and pragmatism, almost exclusively oriented towards measurable profit, tangible effect and spectacular success. As a result, phenomena such as dreams, fancies, secret fantasies, and remnants of memories are often neglected. Secondly, in the light of postmodern suspicions which question any permanent foundations of existence, truth, memory and identity, and in a situation where our whole reality reveals a distinctly phantasmatic character, a temptation arises to treat the realm of dream and imagination as especially distinguished – as the most important way of “being-in-the- world”, or perhaps even the only one which we can access. Our conference will encompass the problem areas of dream, imagination and memory in their broad contexts. We invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: psychoanalysis, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, neurophysiology, history of literature, theatre studies, film studies, consciousness studies, memory studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, animal studies et al. This conference welcomes both exper- ienced representatives of dream studies and those scholars who have not yet researched dreams but share our conviction about their significance. We look forward to receiving closely focused paper proposals (e.g. “Dreams of the homeless”), as well as synthesising ones (e.g. “Modern philosophy in relation to dream and imagination”). We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners, without presenting their papers. We hope that due to its interdisciplinary nature, the conference will bring many interesting observations on and discussions about the role of dream, memory and imagination in the present-day world.

The theme of the symposium is Psychology and Global Health, Changing Times, Changing Practice. Psychology professionals play a pivotal role in the promotion, maintenance and restoration of mental health on a global scale. There is a global trend of shifting the focus of mental healthcare services from traditional settings to community based and family focused practice. Psychology professionals are increasingly called upon to respond to the needs of society and individuals in crisis, war, famine, economic turmoil, crime, murder, abuse, loneliness, and despair. The symposium will provide a valuable opportunity for psychology professionals from different cultural backgrounds and diverse fields to explore the global impact of psychology as a field of practice on community and individual mental health care. An international perspective will be used to promote the generation and implementation of evidence based practice. Through sharing and exchange of information on the latest developments in the disciplines among experts from across the globe, the Conference will contribute to formulating global and regional strategies in advancing psychology.
