*ANNOUNCING:*

*THE 2013 SUMMER INSTITUTE IN POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY*

*at Stanford University from July 14 – August 3, 2013*

Applications are being accepted for the 21st Annual Summer Institute in
Political Psychology (SIPP), to be held at Stanford University July 14 to
August 3, 2013.  The SIPP program takes up to 60 participants and is
filling up; there are still some spots available.

The Summer Institute offers three weeks of intensive training in
political psychology.
 Political psychology is an exciting and thriving field that explores the
origins of political behavior and the causes of political events, with a
special focus on the psychological mechanisms at work.

Research findings in political psychology advance basic theories of
politics and are an important basis for political decision-making in
practice.

SIPP was founded in 1991 at Ohio State University, and Stanford has hosted
SIPP since 2005, with support from Stanford University and from the
National Science Foundation.  Hundreds of participants have attended SIPP
during these years.

The 2013 SIPP curriculum is designed to (1) provide broad exposure to
theories, empirical findings, and research traditions; (2) illustrate
successful cross-disciplinary research and integration; (3) enhance
methodological pluralism; and (4) strengthen networks among scholars from
around the world.

SIPP activities will include lectures by world-class faculty, discussion
groups, research/interest group meetings, group projects, and an array of
social activities.

Some of the topics covered in past SIPP programs include race relations,
conflict and dispute resolution, voting and elections, international
conflict, decision-making by political elites, moral disengagement and
violence, social networks, activism and social protest, political
socialization, and justice.

In 2013, SIPP will accept up to 60 participants, including graduate
students, faculty, professionals, and advanced undergraduates.
