KEYNOTES
Catarina Kinnvall, ISPP President, Lund University, Sweden: Presidential Address
Elizabeth Lira, Alberto Hurtado University, Chile: Reparation and Recognition of victims of human rights violations The year 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of the military coup in Chile that led to a 17-year dictatorship characterized by human rights violations. The violence resulted in thousands of victims, prisoners and tortured, victims of forced disappearance and extrajudicial executions. The talk will be a reflection on the process of recognition and reparation of the victims and their families as part of the policies of the transition from dictatorship to democratic government through the establishment of truth, justice, and memory, which today constitute transdisciplinary fields of research, professional practices, and political action.
Agustín Espinosa, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú: Democratic Weakening from Citizen Decision-Making: Political Moral Laxity as a Consequence of Perverse Political Socialization Political structures and dynamics characterized by a high prevalence of structural violence, corruption and systemic malfunctioning, as in the case of some Latin American societies, seem to produce in citizens reasonings such as “all politicians are the same so it is acceptable to vote for a candidate who steals, but do the work” or “it is right to vote for those politicians we consider as the ‘lesser evil'”. The above shows that the political systems to which we are exposed act as socializing forces with a potential impact on how we will position ourselves before the public, the collective, the private and the individual as dimensions of the political. Types of reasoning such as those mentioned previously have been systematized and have allowed the coining of the concept of Political Moral Laxity, which comprises “a set of beliefs and political attitudes of citizens who tolerate, and even favor, dishonest, transgressive and corrupt actions carried out by politicians and authorities”. Although these actions could individually or collectively benefit those who accept them, they can cause harm or damage to other citizens and society in general, establishing tensions between the private and the public, where the latter is constantly left aside. This presentation will emphasize the social conditions in which Political Moral Laxity occurs and gains strength, as well as, the potential consequences it has for democracy.
Submission: The submission process for the 2024 Annual Meeting is now CLOSED. Each individual is limited to presenting two papers, but can participate in the conference up to four times in total (the other two times to present a poster, participate in a roundtable, or serve as a Discussant). The deadline to submit abstracts was EXTENDED to 29 November 2023. This is a hard deadline, and there will be no further extension.

ISPP MENTORING LUNCHEON
The Mentoring Luncheon is organized annually to facilitate one-on-one meetings between early career scholars and leading academics and researchers in their field. One of the main goals of this event is to facilitate long-term connections, for career development and research advice beyond the individual’s supervisors’ at her or his respective institution. This event has attracted increasing numbers of participants over the years, as emerging scholars recognize the value of engaging with leading researchers in a relaxing and informal atmosphere. The leading scholars provide their time on a voluntary basis, which is highly appreciated by the early career scholars. Opportunities to volunteer as a mentor or to sign up as an early career scholar are usually announced in the early part of each year. Announcements are made on the website, and invitations are sent out via email to ISPP members. If you or someone you know might be interested in volunteering as a mentor or attending as a “mentee”, please do get in touch via email.
IMPORTANT: Please note that due to limitations, this event can accommodate only 100 total persons. Registering for the lunch when you register for the conference does NOT guarantee your participation in the Mentoring Luncheon. You will need to receive confirmation of your registration for this event from the luncheon organizers.
