Description
Summary:The International Conference on the History of Social Psychology arose in part from concerns about social psychology's relative silence about socio-political events (e.g. in Eastern Europe), compared to a century earlier, when collective phenomena were central. A historical conference might refocus concern on the rebirth of nationalisms, racism, and mass citizens participation. In April 1991, 120 historians and (social) psychologists from 16 countries attended the Paris meeting, co-sponsored by 4 learned societies and 2 cultural agencies. Canadian Psychology/Psychologie canadienne and Sociétés contemporaines are each devoting special 1992 issues to "Social Psychology and Its History".
