School of Psychology and Speech Pathology ReCAP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 45 17TH DENIS GLENCROSS MEMORIAL STUDENT CONFERENCE The School of Psychology and Speech Pathology and the Research Centre for Applied Psychology held the 17th Denis Glencross Memorial Student Conference on the 8th July 2011. The Conference is named after the late Professor Glencross in recognition of his leadership within the School of Psychology and his national and international research contribution. The seminar provided an overview of the research activities in the School’s postgraduate research program, and offers an opportunity for interaction among staff and students. As a result of the large number of graduates enrolling for higher degrees by research in Psychology and Speech Pathology, only a limited number of students present at each seminar. The expectation is that students will present twice during the course of their graduate time at Curtin; at an early stage to indicate what they plan to do and later to discuss their achievements. With the increasing number of research students in our School, this conference becomes ever more important, both for staff to keep up-to-date with the work of our students and for students to learn by the experiences of others in coping with the many challenges of a successful research project. The topics indicate the diverse expertise that exists for postgraduate supervision in the School of Psychology and Speech Pathology at Curtin University. The joint initiatives of staff and students in implementing research opportunities is developing the perception of Curtin University as a preferred venue for study and research in applied psychology and speech pathology. 10TH MOTOR CONTROL & HUMAN SKILL CONFERENCE Held at The Sebel, Mandurah from 29th November – 2nd December 2011 Professor Denis Glencross organised the inaugural Motor Control & Human Skill Research Workshop in 1991 to provide a forum for an Australian Interest group that was formed at the Motor Neurosciences Symposium held at Collingwood in Ontario, Canada in 1988. As a result of this successful meeting Professor Glencross established this meeting as a biennial conference which became an important gathering for both new and established researchers renowned for their research endeavours in the area of motor control and human skill. Following the sudden death of Professor Glencross in 1994, this event has continued under the guidance of Professor Jan Piek and with the support of the Research Centre for Applied Psychology at Curtin University. The conference is aimed at examining both theoretical and applied research from disciplines such as psychology, human movement studies, physiotherapy, neurology and kinesiology. Such a broad range of interests produces many different perspectives to the understanding of the coordination and control of movement. In particular, it provides a forum for the analysis of the diverse theoretical approaches employed in the study of motor control, and the application of these theories to the investigation of such areas as elite performance, motor development and motor disability. An important component of these meetings has been the support of early career researchers, particularly postgraduate research students. In honour of Professor Glencross and in recognition of his commitment to research students, the conference has promoted student submissions with the establishment of the Denis Glencross Memorial Young Scholar Award for the best poster presentation by a student. Furthermore, the conference has always resulted in a published series of papers, either as an edited book or a special issue. In recent years, the proceedings have been published in Human Movement Science.
