We had a vibrant discussion, and our members contributed as well with their questions and comments. We are planning to organize more sessions like this! Please let us know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!😇

Today, at our CAN meeting, we held a panel discussion about collective action and social change research across generations, geography, and perspectives. We had four fantastic speakers: (1) Professor John Dixon (2) Professor Anna Kende (3) Dr Lucy Bird (4) Yara Zebian

Dear psychologists, We invite all psychologists to our study to learn about their thoughts & experiences with participatory research strategies. It would be fantastic if you could participate in the survey & share it with your colleagues. Here is the link: tinyurl.com/participatoryr…

Please let us know if there is any particular issue you want us to cover during our workshops/webinars. We are more than happy to do so!

We had a wonderful workshop today. Yasemin Gulsum Acar & Chris Cocking (@DrChrisCocking) shared their fieldwork experiences with us! It was a well-attended session. Thanks, everyone! 😇

Thanks to both speakers! We had a great discussion on the role of contact in collective action (and the role of collective action in contact). We'll be back next year with more webinars & workshops. Stay tuned, and have a great break! 🎄
