The Society of Australasian Social Psychology (SASP) is holding a bi-annually summer school. The SASP summer school was previously jointly organised by LaTrobe, The Australian National University, and the University of Melbourne. The summer school in 2010 was the fourth summer school and was hosted by the University of Queensland.

SASP summer schools are set up primarily for SASP students, but the organisers also accept 5 European EASP members, selected and sponsored by the EASP. Vice versa, 4 postgraduate members of SASP can participate at the EASP summer school, selected and sponsored by SASP.

Announcement and application procedure for the SASP summer school 2012

We are pleased to announce that the 2012 Australasian Summer School in Social Psychology will be held from Friday, February 3 to Wednesday, February 8 (remember, that's 'Summer' in the Southern Hemisphere!) at the Moreton Bay Research Station of the University of Queensland on Stradbroke Island, Australia (just one hour from Brisbane). The summer school is held bi-annually.

The Summer School will offer 30-36 places to graduate students across three research streams. The Society of Australasian Social Psychologists (SASP) sponsors the summerschool and accepts up to 5 EASP PhD students.

Each stream will be taught by an invited researcher and a researcher from the Society of Australasian Social Psychologists. The teachers and workshop topics are:

 Interpersonal and Group-Based Emotions taught by Brian Lickel (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Tom Denson (University of New South Wales)
 Working with Real Groups taught by Tom Postmes (University of Groningen) and Blake McKimmie (University of Queensland)
 Social Justice taught by Heather Smith (Sonoma State University) and Kelly Fielding (University of Queensland)
