Workshop II:  Adivce for Junior Scholars on the Publishing Process

 

This workshop is designed to help junior scholars succeed in getting their work selected for academic journals, and to know what to expect after they have been accepted and need to prepare their manuscript for publication. Coordinated by current editors of Political Psychology, the official journal of the International Society of Political Psychology, junior scholars will receive pointers on submission guidelines and appropriate formats to use, how to balance intricacies of cross-discipline research, which factors influence editors in their decision-making and how to prepare their work for appearing in Political Psychology or other, similar academic journals. The workshop will feature short presentations by scholars who have been successful in getting their work published.

Coordinators:   The Editors of Political Psychology


Monday, July 15, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

 

Workshop III:            The Nuclear Mystique: Dialogue on Global Security

 

 

We are in a state of global emergency both physically and psychologically. The issues most threatening to global survival are barely on anyone’s radar screen. Moreover, the threat is compounded by our massive denial, ignorance, and psychic numbing, rendering us unable to take effective action. As Robert Jay Lifton has stated, weapons of mass destruction are beyond psychology, and alter our relationship to life and death. An international meeting of political psychologists is perhaps the best place for a serious dialogue and brain-storming session about this issue. Basic ideas, concepts, and analysis and open session for dialogue will be presented.)

Coordinator:     Diane Perlman, University of Pennsylvania/ Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict, USA


Monday, July 15, 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., Cost $12 USD
