Celebrate the centennial of social psychology!
2008 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of the first textbooks titled Social Psychology. One was by William McDougall, a psychologist. The other was by E. A. Ross, a sociologist. This is an appropriate time to assess where this unique, interdisciplinary field has come from and where we are going.
Mark September 26-27, 2008, on your calendar. The celebration will run from 1:00 PM Friday until 1:00 PM Saturday. On Friday afternoon, the program includes a two-hour presentation and conversation with Glen Elder, Jr. The conversation will be followed by a reception, and a gala dinner later in the evening.
On Saturday, there are three sessions. The first will feature Shelley Correll and Mitch Duneier discussing Methodological Developments in the first century. The second will feature Patricia Devine and Terri Orbuch discussing Advances in Understanding in the first century. The closing session will feature Jim House reflecting on the next 100 years.
Join your friends and colleagues in recognizing this historic milestone. The speakers will be engaging and thought-provoking, and the dinner promises to be a gala celebration. Regular registration is $90.00; student registration is $50.00. For more details or to register, visit:
