President's Section: Publishing Opportunity As incoming editor of the journal, History of Psychology, I write to invite your participation in the intellectual and scholarly content of the journal and your disciplines history. Here are a couple of ways you can do so: 1) If you have a historical analysis of your thesis or dissertation topic that forms an important part of your research, think about developing it in such a way that it could be submitted to the journal with possible publication as a brief report or a note on sources, etc. If you are not sure of how to articulate the historical aspect, I can connect you with an expert who may be able to help you do so. 2) If you have an idea for teaching a topic that falls within the history of psychology course, think about developing it into a 3-4 page teaching note for the journal. I can't, of course, promise publication, but I can promise an openness to your ideas and to find reviewers who can be very helpful to you. I hope to hear from you.

Student Research Award Winners Erin Maloney, University of Waterloo Teresa Madruga, California State University, Stanislaus Michael Russell, University of California, Irvine Jamil Zaki, Columbia University The Student Research Award is given annually to recognize outstanding research conducted by APS Student Affiliates. Recipients will present their research in address format at the APS Annual Convention in San Francisco during the Student Research Award Symposium. In the April Student Notebook – From Finding an Advisor to Creating Hypotheses: The Dos and Don’ts of Beginning a Thesis Helpful Hint for April: It might be tempting to "get your money's worth" by attending every Convention event from you can from 8:30 am to Midnight (YES, your first day could last until then). Then again, is a marathon session really the best use of Convention time? Maybe NOT using the time could be the best strategy. Talks, Symposia, Workshops, Poster Sessions, and of course Student Events, aren't just about the research. Conventions are about whom you meet. Stephen Fiore, in his Observer piece How To Navigate A National Convention, argues that "the formal presentations are a MINOR aspect of the experience. It's the informal face-to-face discussions that are worthwhile. So... Don't fill ALL of your time with sessions (more realistically, don't go to sessions and then play hookey the rest of the time--allow and use time for hallway and barroom conversations)." Plan your online Convention itinerary here. And be sure to leave some hallway time for networking! |
