Nevitt Sanford Award for
Professional Contributions to
Political
Psychology
Nevitt Sanford was deeply influenced by John Dewey, who imposed upon the
scholar the obligation to put knowledge to work in the solution of social
problems. Thus the ISPP was dear to his heart. Nevitt's problem-centred
approach to the generation of human knowledge involved not only perceiving
but also doing or making, so his interests ranged widely through the
disciplines, much like ISPP. His specialization was in personality theory
and human problems, particularly the authoritarian personality and social
destructiveness, higher education and adult development.
This award, set up in the honor of Nevitt Sanford, is to be given yearly
to someone deemed by the committee to be 1) engaged in the practical
application of political psychological principles, or 2) creating
knowledge that is accessible and used by practitioners to make a positive
difference in the way politics is carried out.
The 2008 award recipient will be strongly encouraged to attend the
2008 Annual Meeting
and Award's Banquet in Paris, France, and will be asked to give a talk at the
2009 annual meeting in
recognition of their work in the field.
