<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have recently moved to Sydney having qualified from UEL last year. </p>
<p><span>I have been startled by the apparent lack of community psychology informed projects out here and the huge emphasis on private sector work. Although, I am new here so I may not be looking in the right places! I’ve joined a group called “De-colonising Psychology” of critical psychologists who want to make a difference to the system and to training. We met for the first-time last month and it seems that critical ideas are in their infancy in Sydney. From my understanding, Melbourne has more going on in terms of Critical and Community Psychology.</span></p>
<p><span>Anyway, I wondered whether anyone had any contacts, information or directions you could point me in for Sydney was I would love to get involved in such projects, as well as help the ‘Decolonising Psychology’ group connect with other interested stakeholders as we get the group off the ground!</span></p>
<p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
