IAJS Discussion List Rules

Dear Colleagues,

First, let me thank all of you for your excellent contributions to the discussion list. For me, the discussion list represents the ongoing life of the IAJS, keeping us connected with our colleagues and engaged with important issues in Jungian psychology.

We on the Executive Committee are always thinking of ways to promote the best qualities of the discussion list, and minimize those which are less constructive. One way in which we do this is through our discussion list rules. We try to keep the rules simple and understandable while bearing in mind the twin goals of promoting constructive discussion without overburdening your e-mail inbox. With this in mind, earlier this year we changed the rules to limit postings to one per member per day, and we further limited disparaging remarks. The one post per day limitation seems to have been well received. However, many of you continue to express concern about the negative tone of many posts. This concern has been discussed among the Executive Committee, including at the recent conference at Cornell. In light of these discussions, the Executive Committee has voted to modify the discussion list rules to further promote constructive dialogue and minimize disparaging content.

The new discussion list rules are as follows:

1. All posts must be civil and respectful. Examples of content which will not be considered civil and respectful: ad hominen attacks, sarcasm, derision, and generalized attacks against groups.
2. The list is reserved for community discussions. Personal communications (e.g., "thank you for that post") should be directed to the individual and not to the entire list.

We thank all of our bright contributors to the discussion list and hope these new rules will promote an atmosphere in which more of our members feel comfortable participating.

Best wishes,
Dan Anderson
Moderator
Member of the Executive Committee

Dear IAJS colleagues,

Greetings from Ithaca, and from the IAJS members of the program committee for the joint international conference with the IAAP in Braga Portugal in July 2012.

Attached you will find the just completed cfp for the conference; it has also been posted to the IAJS and IAAP websites. I encourage all of you to think about participating, in whatever form mostly richly displays your work. Please take note of the committee's requirement that proposals be sent only in dox or rtf--not in docx or pdf. This is necessary to insure the easy movement of proposals among our variously equipped computers.

The program committee for the conference includes:

Toshio Kawai (IAAP co-chair),

Murray Stein (IAAP),

Ruth Williams (IAJS),

Lucy Huskinson (IAJS and IJJS),

Alessandra De Coro (IAAP), and

myself (IAJS co-chair).

We share our discussions with Joe Cambray, the current president of the IAAP, and Denis Ramos (IAAP), representing the organizing committee. The organizing committee members are:

Armando Nascimento Rosa (IAJS), and

Luis Savaiva (IAJS/IAAP), and

Denise Ramos (IAAP)

The organizing committee is busy arranging the local logistics for the conference, and will post the proper forms as they proceed.

I want to thank Leslie Gardner, Mark Saban, and Kevin Lu for their insightful mounting of the regional conference in London this month.

London Regional Conference DETAILS

Greetings all - here is a further update of the abstracts and schedule for the IAJS inaugural Regional Conference in London.

We are still in throes of finalising but the closer we get, the more final it will become. On the 15th June price goes up (marginally) so you might want to register ahead of that time.

****Speakers who have not registered by then: we will have to excise you from schedule! *****

With all best wishes, Leslie Gardner, Mark Saban and Kevin Lu, London regional IAJS conference committee
