Save the Date: Political Psychology Meeting on November 9th

POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY MEETING - SAVE THE DATE

Please join us for the seventh Political Psychology Meeting, which will take place on Friday November 9th at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (University of Amsterdam).

Political psychology is thriving in the Netherlands and beyond. We organize the political psychology meetings to further consolidate this field of research in the region of the Netherlands by providing an opportunity for political psychologists to connect, share ideas, and provide feedback on each other’s work. The day will run from 10.00 - 16.00 and includes coffee/tea- and lunch-breaks. For the upcoming meeting, we were again able to secure an excellent set of speakers. Please see below for the preliminary program.

It is important to register for the meeting so that we can get an accurate head count for coffee/tea and lunch. Participation is free of charge. Please let us know by October 19th if you plan to attend by filling out this form.

Best regards,

Bert Bakker (University of Amsterdam)

Mark Dechesne (Leiden University)

Jojanneke van der Toorn (Utrecht University & Leiden University)
