Where is our Systems Psychodynamic thinking on
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS?
NIODA'S 6th Annual Symposium
7, 8 & 9 September 2022
This year the NIODA Symposium asks the question –
What can systems psychodynamics add to our understanding of social movements?
We have four keynote panels and many individual papers all addressing the dynamics of social movements. The program also has a social dreaming session and social times for networking.
Social Movements have long been part of societies world-wide. We can instance such momentous issues as indigenous land rights; female suffrage and the emancipation of slaves; as well as protests against wars or government economic measures; and more recently there are demonstrations surrounding climate change, cruelty to animals, racial discrimination and gender, even against government public health measures.
A social movement may be defined as ‘a loosely organized but sustained campaign in support of a social goal’ (Britannica). They most often involve a protest against ideas, actions and the culture of the establishment or a call to action for change. As distinct from an interest group, social movements are organized to initiate social change and involve action by the members, often in the form of protest using multiple methods. They are collective and may arise spontaneously amongst people with a common outlook, but then become sustained and organized.
This is an area of interest to systems psychodynamic and socioanalytic researchers and practitioners. Such movements are of interest in themselves, but they also may affect the people and groups in our everyday work, leisure and not-for-profit organisations.

Learning to listen: the challenge of the Uluru statement from the heart
During COVID lockdown late in 2020, Deb Martindale, Sally Mussared, Kenwyn Smith and Seth Thomasson were motivated by the Uluru Statement from the Heart to respond to the government’s interim report. This led to the consideration that perhaps our role as ‘white fellas’ in the Yoorrook (Victorian Truth Telling Commission) was to actively listen. Regular reflection sessions have led to us being moved by what we have heard in the public hearings from Victorian First People Elders whose experiences illustrate many of the key impacts of colonisation still felt today, including Jack Charles, Uncle Johnny Lovett, Aunty Fay Carter, Aunty Alma Thorpe, Uncle Larry Walsh and Isobel Paipadjerook Morphy-Walsh, Uncle Kevin Coombs and Uncle Colin Walker. The impacts of our listening are developing, and we encourage you to listen to the Uluru Statement from the Heart to consider your role in this social movement.
