Second Call for Papers

www.istp2009.com

Since its inception, the ISTP conference has evolved into a vibrant meeting place for psychologists and scholars from other disciplines to debate emergent themes in contemporary theory and practice. The 2009 conference will build on this tradition. The venue provides a powerful metaphor for the conference, namely new possibilities for transforming the western fictions of ‘east’ and ‘west’, ‘north’ and ‘south’.

This conference is the premier opportunity for theoretical psychologists and graduate students interested in theo-retical issues in psychology to present, discuss, and reflect on theoretical psychology in a transnational and trans-disciplinary context. Generating collaborations with colleagues from all over the world will be encouraged throughout the conference.

The Conference invites contributions to theoretical psychology from all scholarly approaches. They include: activ-ity theory, anthropological psychology, clinical theory, cognitive science, critical psychology, cultural psychology, developmental theory, epistemology, ethics, evolutionary psychology, feminist psychology, health psychology, her-meneutics, history of psychology, indigenous psychologies, methodology, phenomenology, philosophical psychol-ogy, postcolonial theory, postmodern psychology, psychoanalytic theory, social constructionism, systems theory, theoretical neuroscience, and theory of psychological practice.

Besides submissions of individual papers and symposia we specifically encourage submissions to conversation sessions (they can be organized as interactive symposia, theoretical encounters or workshops).

We specifically invite individuals from so-called developing countries to submit proposals.
