Conference paper publication
1st Call for papers
International Society for theoretical psychology conference 2024 “Theory as engagement”
To be published in the International Review of Theoretical Psychologies
The International Review of Theoretical Psychologies is one of the two journals of the International Society of Theoretical Psychology. IRTP is a peer-reviewed, open access and indexed journal. Its main aim is to provide a written venue and wide dissemination for the papers presented at the last biannual conference. This is therefore a call for Volume 3 of IRTP to all participants of the 2024 ISTP conference in Belgrade.
The theme of the volume is Theory as engagement. Engaged theorising has a long history, however it seems as timely and needed today as ever, particularly in psychology. It asserts that theorising is not held aside from or even in opposition to the real world – it is because we hold the world and people, their complexity, institutions, cultures, and power seriously that we need to theorise. Theorising is inclusive, it requires dedication and time, and it is always a dialogical endeavour. The beauty of theorising is that it transcends national, historical, social, and linguistic barriers while simultaneously serving as a tool for their critical examination, provided that it is respectful, honest, transparent, dialogical, and reflexive. Theory done in an engaged way creates a shift in thinking and practice that can direct social and personal transformation.
