25th Annual Conference of the German Peace Psychology Association at the University of Konstanz, June 1-3, 2012

Perpetrators and Victims of Collective Violence

Back to start

Call for Papers:

Perpetrators and victims of collective violence are a topic which absorbs the interest of Psychology across many of its sub-disciplines: from Political Psychology via Social Psychology and Clinical Psychology as far as Neurosciences. As a research topic of many non-psychological neighbour-disciplines of Peace Psychology – from Political Science via Peace Education to Media Studies and Cultural Studies – they cannot be ignored either. The aim of the conference is to stimulate a trans-disciplinary exchange of ideas and to combine the manifold theoretical and methodological perspectives of Peace Research in a constructive way.

We call for empirical and theoretical papers from all fields of psychology, sociology, political science, communication studies and other social sciences that can contribute to the topic of the conference and to Peace Psychology in general. Papers may be submitted in English (preferred) or German. For each paper 25 minutes including discussion time are scheduled. Submitted papers will be screened with regard to their general appropriateness and grouped with related papers into thematic sessions.

Deadline for the submission of papers is February 29, 2012. Abstracts should be about 200 words. For online submission click here .
