INFO: Going Global with Study, Teaching and Service in Psychology

From Merry Bullock, MBullock@apa.org:

Going Global with Study, Teaching and Service in Psychology – Call for Programming at the 2010 APA Convention

APA’s Committee on International Relations in Psychology (CIRP) is sponsoring a roundtable session at the 2010 APA Convention in San Diego to inform about international study, teaching, and service opportunities for psychologists. "Going Global with Study, Teaching and Service" will provide a platform for psychologists to discuss and learn about opportunities, gather ideas, and network with others interested in or engaged in international teaching, international study abroad, international research, and international applications of psychology and service.

CIRP is seeking contact information for those of you who are or have been involved in such activities (e.g. study abroad courses, international teaching, Doctors without Borders, international consulting, etc.) and brief descriptions of what you are doing or have done and where. CIRP’s aim is to identify individuals who would be willing to share information about the programs they are involved in, study abroad courses they have developed, etc. in a roundtable format that promotes a cross-fertilization of ideas and opportunities for expanding our own perspectives, as well as that of our students.

Please send your contact information and a short (paragraph length) description of your international experience to mbullock@apa.org. If your experience is in the Fulbright program or Peace Corps please indicate that in the header of the email (we are developing separate lists for activities with those organizations). Thanks much!
