 THE 2012 SUMMER INSTITUTE IN POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY at Stanford University (July 15 - August 4, 2012), Palo Alto, California   Applications are being accepted for the 20h Annual Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP), to be held at Stanford University July 15 to August 4, 2012. The SIPP program takes up to 60 participants and is filling up; there are still some spots available.   The Summer Institute offers three weeks of intensive training in political psychology. Political psychology is an exciting and thriving field that explores the origins of political behavior and the causes of political events, with a special focus on the psychological mechanisms at work.   Research findings in political psychology advance basic theory of human cognitive and social behavior and are an important basis for political decision-making in practice.   SIPP was founded in 1991 at Ohio State University, and Stanford has hosted SIPP since 2005, with support from Stanford University and from the National Science Foundation. Hundreds of participants have attended SIPP during these years.   The 2012 SIPP curriculum is designed to (1) provide broad exposure to theories, empirical findings, and research traditions; (2) illustrate successful cross-disciplinary research and integration; (3) enhance methodological pluralism; and (4) strengthen networks among scholars from around the world.   SIPP activities will include lectures by world-class faculty, discussion groups, research/interest group meetings, group projects, and an array of social activities.   Some of the topics covered in past SIPP programs include race relations, conflict and dispute resolution, voting and elections, international conflict, decision-making by political elites, moral disengagement and violence, social networks, activism and social protest, political socialization, and justice.   In 2012, SIPP will accept up to 60 participants, including graduate students, faculty, professionals, and advanced undergraduates.   For detailed information and to apply, visit this website:   http://www.stanford.edu/group/sipp/201   Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis until all slots are filled, so applying soon maximizes chances of acceptance.   Mary Rich Conference Coordinator Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP) 30 Alta Road, Room 222, Stanford, California 94305-2077 maryrich@stanford.edu Tel: 650.736.7296 Fax: 650.723.1500  Fifth International Conference on Psychology Education (July 22 - 27, 2012), Cape Town, South Africa I am pleased to inform you that Fifth International Conference on Psychology Education (ICOPE) will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 22-27 July 2012, in affiliation with International Congress of Psychology (ICP).  We found this beneficial to organize ICOPE at the same time and venue as ICP.

The conference will be held July 26 and 27 at the University of Pedagogy – Ho Chi Minh City. The conference theme is “Developing Skills and Models of Service Delivery in School Psychology.” The Consortium to Advance School Psychology in Vietnam (CASP-V) was established in January 2010 to institutionalize a growing collaborative between U.S. and Vietnamese universities.  It is the first successful attempt to create a structure for multilateral cooperation among Vietnamese and U.S. educational institutions. Inspired by the desire to better meet the needs of Vietnamese students who experience educational, emotional, or behavioral difficulties, five U.S. universities, eight Vietnamese universities, individual practitioners, and one international professional organization came together to form CASP-V with the primary goal of building the discipline and profession of School Psychology in Vietnam. CASP-V’s approach to accomplishing this goal represents an innovative model of collaboration that involves multiple stakeholders in a process of planning and carrying out curriculum development, collaborative research, professional development workshops and conferences, and support of direct services to children and youth at school psychology centers. The 3rd International Conference on School Psychology in Vietnam will serve as a forum for Vietnamese and international educators and practitioners to promote an in-depth discussion of (a) school psychology service delivery models, (b) approaches to training and credentialing school psychologists, (c) critical skills needed to deliver school-based psychological services, (d) school-based approaches to preventing and treating emotional and behavioral problems, (e) best practices to adapting psychological assessment instruments for use in Vietnam, and (f) school-based infrastructure to support quality school psychological services. There will be several events such as the pre-conference workshops, speakers, and seminars, practitioners and students symposiums, social networking events, and post-conference travel tour.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute is an easy commute from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and most New England states, and thus many attendees will be able to participate without incurring the expense of overnight accommodations. Undergraduate and graduate students can join and register for the NEPA meeting for only $30, with faculty costs nominally higher.  The 2012 Annual NEPA Meeting affords great opportunities for up-and-coming students to credential themselves before applying for graduate school, for recently-graduated students to bring closure to their projects through presentation at a professional meeting, for colleagues at all levels to become involved in a professional association, for faculty at all levels to present research, and for all educators within the psychological sciences to learn more about the teaching of psychology from national experts.  NEPA will accept symposia, papers, and posters representing all areas of the psychological sciences through June 8, 2012, and, after June 8, NEPA will continue to review posters on a space-available through September 21, 2012.  NECTOP will accept posters and Participant Idea Exchanges exclusively related to the teaching of psychology through September 21, 2012.  These deadlines ensure that adequate time is available for the completion of projects during the spring semester. So, if you have promising students completing research projects in research methods courses or as independent studies, new faculty members seeking to establish themselves, research you wish to share, or adjunct colleagues interested in deepening their involvement in the profession we would appreciate your making use of the attached Call For Papers and passing it along to interested colleagues.

 Call for Papers: Conference on Jung in the Academy and Beyond: The Fordham Lectures 100 Years Later (October 26 - 27, 2012), Fordham University, Bronx NY   Carl G. Jung delivered a series of lectures at Fordham University 100 years ago. In many ways they laid out the future development of his work as well as his movement away from Freud.  These lectures were first published in the inaugural edition of the Psychoanalytic Review, and a revised edition is due this winter.   Fordham University in collaboration with the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association of New York seeks to honor the 1911-1912 Jung lectures with a conference that promises to locate Jung in the academy and beyond, in the years when the lectures were delivered and published, today, and in the future.  A two-day conference will be held October 26 and 27, 2012 at Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus, where the lectures were originally held.  On Friday October 26 Sonu Shamdasani (University College London) will present a public lecture.  Other invited speakers  include Joseph Cambray (Harvard Medical School), Eugene Taylor (Saybrook Graduate School and Harvard Medical School), and Ann Ulanov (Union Theological Seminary).    We invite your submissions for brief papers (20 minutes) which may either be stand-alone presentations or may be integrated into panel presentations. These papers will be delivered on Saturday October 27, 2012.  Locating Jung in academia and beyond means welcoming contributions from many disciplines, including but not limited to psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, literature, theology and religious studies, the arts, and history, as well as interdisciplinary fields.    Please submit: 1. title 2. author names and affiliations 3. short 150-250 word abstract to be published on-line and in program 4. long abstract/proposal: 1-2 pages   Proposals can be submitted by email to jungatfordham@fordham.edu or by mail to Mark Mattson.  The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2012, and proposals will be considered in the order they are received, beginning February 1, 2012.

Intercultural studies are due for reflection and refinement. The Center for Intercultural Studies at Saint Louis University invites proposals for papers taking a critical approach to interculturality, and exploring the potential as well as the limits of the concept.  The focus of the Conference, and the invitation for paper proposals, is specifically on innovative theoretical frameworks--preferably combining methods from more than one discipline--designed for analyzing interactions between different cultures.  A paper would ideally include a specific case study illustrating the application of the analytical framework proposed.  The goal is to assemble a theoretical and methodological toolbox for researching and understanding interculturality.  Selected papers will be published in a volume by an academic press.  Proposals should include: a one-page abstract of the paper, with a title and name of the author; the author's brief curriculum vitae; postal address; email address; and phone number.  Complete proposals should be emailed as attachments in MS Word to: rozbicmj@slu.edu.  The deadline for submissions is November 15, 2012. http://www.conferencealerts.com/psychology.htmhttp://www.conferencealerts.com/psychology.htmhttp://www.socialpsychology.org/psych.htmhttp://www.socialpsychology.org/psych.htmhttp://www.atiner.grhttp://www.atiner.gr/psychology.htmhttp://www.atiner.gr/soc/2012SOC-PSY.htmhttp://www.atiner.gr/docs/PSYCHOLOGY_PUBLICATIONS.htmhttp://www.michaelprosser.com/2012/01/serbian-psychological-societys-60th-annual-convention-may-30-june-2-2012-in-belgrade-serbia-post-314/http://www.michaelprosser.com/2012/01/serbian-psychological-societys-60th-annual-convention-may-30-june-2-2012-in-belgrade-serbia-post-314/http://johnjay.jjay.cuny.edu/ic_ny/http://cbiworld.org/Pages/Conferences_TC.htmhttp://cbiworld.org/http://www.sip2012.org/http://ecpp2012.ru/conf/index.phphttp://www.stanford.edu/group/sipp/201mailto:maryrich@stanford.eduhttp://www.icp2012.comhttp://interteachpsy.org/Main/Internationalizationhttp://interteachpsy.org/Main/Internationalizationhttps://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=PSYCHGLOBALmailto:vk001@aquinas.edumailto:caspv2012presentation@gmail.commailto:caspv2012conference@gmail.comhttp://www.icm2012.dehttp://www.dipf.demailto:martens@dipf.dehttp://www.tpconference2012.com/abs_call_for_papers.htmlhttp://www.tpconference2012.comhttp://icpweb.org/70th-international-council-of-psychologists-conference/mailto:tarapirimces@msn.commailto:donnag@elmhurst.edumailto:rosejulia6@aol.commailto:tarapirimces@msn.commailto:tarapirimces@msn.comhttp://www.NEPsychological.orgmailto:NEPsychological@Gmail.commailto:NETeachingPsychology@Gmail.comUpcoming_Events_files/ISPRC_2012_Proposal_Information.pdfhttp://www.thefpr.org/conference2012/registration.phphttp://www.thefpr.org/conference2012/index.phphttp://cmbconference2012.wordpress.com/mailto:jungatfordham@fordham.eduUpcoming_Events_files/Call%20for%20Papers.pdfmailto:prp104@psu.edumailto:isipar2013@gmail.comhttp://www.csiar.uconn.edumailto:r.rohner@uconn.eduhttp://www.isipar.orgmailto:rohner.isipar@gmail.comhttp://www.facebook.com/groups/NMCSgrouphttp://multiculturalsummit.orghttp://multiculturalsummit.org/programming/NMCS-2013-Call.pdfmailto:michael.mobley@gse.rutgers.edumailto:rozbicmj@slu.edushapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8shapeimage_2_link_9shapeimage_2_link_10shapeimage_2_link_11shapeimage_2_link_12shapeimage_2_link_13shapeimage_2_link_14shapeimage_2_link_15shapeimage_2_link_16shapeimage_2_link_17shapeimage_2_link_18shapeimage_2_link_19shapeimage_2_link_20shapeimage_2_link_21shapeimage_2_link_22shapeimage_2_link_23shapeimage_2_link_24shapeimage_2_link_25shapeimage_2_link_26shapeimage_2_link_27shapeimage_2_link_28shapeimage_2_link_29shapeimage_2_link_30shapeimage_2_link_31shapeimage_2_link_32shapeimage_2_link_33shapeimage_2_link_34shapeimage_2_link_35shapeimage_2_link_36shapeimage_2_link_37shapeimage_2_link_38shapeimage_2_link_39shapeimage_2_link_40shapeimage_2_link_41shapeimage_2_link_42shapeimage_2_link_43shapeimage_2_link_44shapeimage_2_link_45shapeimage_2_link_46shapeimage_2_link_47shapeimage_2_link_48shapeimage_2_link_49shapeimage_2_link_50shapeimage_2_link_51shapeimage_2_link_52shapeimage_2_link_53shapeimage_2_link_54
