24th Annual Conference of the German Peace Psychology Association

"Social Justice and Conflict"

Department of Psychology, University of Marburg (Germany)

Understanding and changing the underlying mechanisms of social injustice and their relationship to social conflicts are core issues in Peace Psychology. Terrorism, warfare, normative and non-normative collective action, as well as other forms of intergroup conflict urge researchers to consider social injustice as a highly important factor. The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars from all fields relevant to Peace Psychology to discuss their current research on the antecedents, perceptions, and outcomes of social injustice for the various forms of contemporary conflicts.

Keynote speaker: Fathali Moghaddam (Washington D.C.)

We invite submissions of empirical and theoretical papers from all fields of psychology, sociology, political science and other social sciences, which contribute to the field of social injustice and conflict. We also welcome submissions on other topics relevant to Peace Psychology. The conference language is English. The deadline for submissions of proposals was April 1, 2011.
