THEORETICAL PSYCHOLOGY BEYOND BORDERS: TRANSDISCIPLINARITY AND INTERNATIONALIZATION
The International Society for Theoretical Psychology (ISTP) will hold its next conference in Toronto, Canada.
Date: June 18-22, 2007
Location: York University

This conference is the premier opportunity for theoretical psychologists and graduate students interested in theoretical issues in psychology to present, discuss, and reflect on theoretical psychology in a transnational and transdisciplinary context. Generating collaborations with colleagues from all over the world will be encouraged throughout the conference. The Conference invites contributions to theoretical psychology from all scholarly approaches. They include (but are not limited to) activity theory, anthropological psychology, clinical theory, cognitive science, critical psychology, cultural psychology, developmental theory, epistemology, ethics, evolutionary psychology, feminist psychology, health psychology, hermeneutics, history of psychology, indigenous psychologies, methodology, phenomenology, philosophical psychology, postcolonial theory, postmodern psychology, psychoanalytic theory, social constructionism, systems theory, theoretical neuroscience, and theory of psychological practice. Leaders in theory and psychology are invited and include so far Kurt Danziger and Jessica Benjamin.

We specifically encourage submissions of symposia (3-5 papers, 1 hour 50 minutes) and conversation sessions (55 minutes). The program committee is open to innovative ways for presenting theoretical material and thus invites submissions of alternative formats (55 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes) such as interactive symposia, workshops, theoretical encounters, or performances relating to theoretical issues of transdisciplinarity and internationalization of psychology. Those wishing to submit individual papers (20-25 minutes) are asked to submit an abstract of 300 words (maximum) by January 1, 2007. Symposia submissions require a 300-word (maximum) abstract outlining the focus of the symposium written by the organizer(s) in addition to 300-word (maximum) abstracts from each of the contributors. The organizer of the session should collect these from the participants and submit the proposal as one package. Conversation sessions require a 300-word (maximum) abstract written by the organizer(s). Alternative formats should be submitted following the rules for a symposium or a conversation session.

Please submit the following information: (a) 1st line: Form of submission (individual paper, symposium, conversation session, etc.). (b) 2nd line: Family name, first name. Institution, country [first author]. Family name, first name. Institution, country [second author], etc. (c) Next line: Title of paper (or symposium, conversation session, etc.). (d) Next lines: Abstract.

The proposal should be sent preferably as an e-mail attachment in Microsoft Word format to each of the following members of the program committee before the deadline of January 1, 2007 (in the “subject” line of the e-mail write: ISTP 2007 submission):
