***Call for Papers: Public Psychology: Cultivating Socially Engaged Science for the 21st Century***
American Psychologist invites submissions for a special issue on psychology’s role in social transformation, including research, advocacy, and practice that foregrounds psychologists’ roles as agents of positive social change.
The goal of this special issue is to animate scholarly reflection on the theory and practice of "public psychology." If the "citizen psychologist" initiative encouraged psychologists to re-imagine their individual responsibilities to pursue the public good, public psychology suggests a paradigmatic shift in how psychologists cultivate the relationship(s) between science and society.
The aim of this issue is to provoke, analyze, and explore the shape and content of public psychology as an emergent framework for imagining psychology otherwise, and for opening creative spaces for charting the future of the discipline with a renewed commitment to the promotion of justice, health, and equity across registers of social life.

Dear colleagues,
I am excited to announce the publication of my new book which may be of interest to some of you. How do people make sense of distant international events? Why are some representations more appealing than others? What do they mean for how societies imagine themselves? The book captures evidence of self-idealising and self-affirming political imagining in how the general public in the West and Russia understood the Arab uprisings. I make an argument both about and beyond this particular case.
The book is currently on sale with 30% discount with code RLIJUL19 on the publisher's website.

CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE: Resistance & Recovery in the #metoo era
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 2nd, 2019
Special Issue Editors: Kate Richmond, Ph.D. & Nicki Johnson, Ph.D.
With the increased visibility of movements such as #NoMore, #TimesUp, and #MeToo, and the public showcase of accused perpetrators becoming elected to the highest offices in the United States (e.g., Brett Kavanaugh’s election to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump’s election to the Presidency), psychologists are resisting and responding to sexual violence in a highly charged political landscape. This Special Issue seeks to capture the research and knowledge regarding sexual violence in the wake of heightened experiences of social/political hostility. Examples of topics include conducting therapy, teaching, training, or supervising students and/or developing campus-wide or community-based interventions during times of social/political unrest. Additional topics of interest are how psychologists have coped with their own emotions/thoughts/relationships and if practices of restorative justice and radical hope have been or could be successful.
The editors invite abstract submissions of quantitative and/or qualitative works. We also invite abstract submissions of theoretical pieces, review papers, and best practices.
Submitted abstracts should contain original and unpublished work and must be written in English. Preferences in the selection and review process will be given to potential manuscripts that attend to contexts and critical analysis/integration of intersectional theory. Furthermore, manuscripts will be evaluated on their incorporation of principles from feminist theories and clinical practice, including feminist approaches in working with populations most at risk for experiencing sexual violence (e.g., college students, women in the military, indigenous/Native American women, bisexual women, transgender women and non-binary individuals, women with disabilities, girls and women with histories of sexual abuse, etc).
Submission Instructions: Interested authors should submit (1) a title page and (2) a 2 to 4-page abstract to the special issue editors at
[email protected] by 8/2/19. Submissions should follow APA style (6th Edition). The special issue editors will review abstracts and select 13 for further development. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to develop full papers. In addition to review by the special issue editors, papers will be subjected to the regular W&T peer-review process. Questions about special issue may be directed to editors at
[email protected] and
[email protected].
