About this event. Each year, SPSSI hosts a policy workshop that takes place one day before the start of the SPSSI Summer Conference. The goal of the workshop is to introduce policy-relevant perspectives and skills to SPSSI Summer Conference attendees at various career stages and to build capacity in areas typically overlooked in traditional academic settings. The 2020 Policy Workshop will focus on Psychology, Law, and Public Policy: Examining the Relationships Among Psychology, Law, and Public Policy at the Local, National, and International Levels.

Within this framework will be three major areas of focus:

In addition to featured speakers on each of the three major areas of focus, this policy workshop will also include data blitzes, poster exhibits, and facilitated breakout discussions. 

If you are a psychologist, psychologist-in training, lawyer, policy professional, or allied social scientist interested in coming together with like-minded scholars, practitioners, and advocates, this will be an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, network, and socialize.
