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

Tour of Third Reich Sites

 

The once elegant Wilhelm Strasse and the surrounding streets gained a terrifying reputation during the Third Reich. On Wilhelm Platz, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels transformed an 18th century palace into the sinister Propaganda Ministry. Off the same square, Hitler built his intimidating New Reichschancellery and close by, the bunker where he committed suicide. On Wilhelm Strasse itself, Goering built the monumental Air Ministry while Himmler's SS and the Gestapo headquarters turned Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse into the most feared address in the Third Reich. Sixty years later, some of the street names have changed but one cannot escape the Nazi past: we examine how this past is being looked at today and finish the tour above the exact position of Hitler's bunker, exploding the myths surrounding Hitler's fate during the last days of the war. Tour departs from the hotel lobby at 2:00 p.m.  Please be in the lobby no later than 1:45 p.m.

Session 12.3  Salon: Haifa: The Voices of Jews and Arabs 1948-2001

           

Dan Bar-On, Ben Gurion University, Israel

            Sami Adwan, Bethlehem University, Israel

This salon is a video presentation (2001) of interviews in Haifa with Jews and Arabs about Haifa 1948-2001. Haifa has the image, in the Jewish-Israeli collective memory, of being a town where Jews and Arabs lived happily together before 1948 (Goren, 2000) and that some of that relationship still prevails until today. Still, this positive Israeli image of the Jewish-Arab relationship does not account for the fact that most of the Arab population left Haifa prior or right after it was taken over by the Hagana (the Jewish army prior to the State of Israel) in April 1948. The collective Jewish memory also does not acknowledge the fact that most of these refugees never returned. Only about 3000 Arabs stayed behind in 1948. The Jewish memory also does not take notice of the fact that the remaining Arabs were forced into a special zone in Wadi Nisnas from where they were allowed to move out only with permits. Dan Bar-On was part of this collective memory and is now on his own journey to try and clarify the discrepancies between these facts and the positive image.

Jewish Life in Berlin Tour

 

The destruction of Berlin's thriving Jewish community by the Nazis left a great void in the cultural and commercial life of the city. The heart of this community was around Oranienburger Stratte and the so-called "Scheunenviertel". On this tour you will visit the site of the first synagogue in Berlin and the "women's protest" memorial nearby. Discover where the Old Cemetery was and see the remaining Jewish Boy's School, founded by Moses Mendelssohn in the 1780s. Find out where the Old People's was and how it was turned by the Nazis into their main detention centre. You will also see where Otto Weidt's workshop was, and the guide will explain how he helped save the lives of many members of the community. The tour ends at the magnificent New Synagogue, a symbol of the regeneration of Jewish life in Berlin today. Tour departs from the hotel lobby at 2:00 p.m.  Please be in the lobby no later than 1:45 p.m.

Session 15.3 Salon:’ Hitler’s Brides’: Women in Nazi Germany

 

Cate Haste, United Kingdom

Hitler’s Brides, a TV documentary film by director Cate Haste, examines the role women played in Nazi Germany.  Based on interviews with women from all walks of life, who were mostly in their teens at the time, Hitler’s Brides shows how effective Nazis were at gaining young women’s allegiance.  It examines how Nazi politics affected women in the Racial State, including racial ‘education’ and sterilization policies, and how women were willingly politicized in Nazi values through the Girls’ Hitler youth – the BDM.  Following the screening of the film, there will be a time for questions.

Sachsenhausen Postconference Tour

 

An early camp, Sachsenhausen was built in 1936 in Oranienburg, on the northern outskirts of Berlin. At first it primarily held political prisoners, but later other groups that the Nazis identified as dangerous or inferior were also sent there. Intended to be a model for other concentration camps, it was constructed on strict geometrical lines, with the interior camp forming a semi-circle enclosed in the equalateral triangle formed by the stone walls. Like Dachau, it served as a kind of school for concentration camp personnel. Between 1936 and its liberation by the Red Army on April 27, 1945, around 200,000 persons were imprisoned there, approximately half of whom died or were murdered while at Sachsenhausen.  Tour departs from the hotel lobby at 10:00 a.m.  Please be in the lobby no later than 9:45 a.m.
