August 20-23, 2010, Barcelona, Spain
Small Group Meeting On Debating Honor in the Context of Group and Gender Relations, the Self, and Aggression
Contact: Hans IJzerman (h.ijzerman@psy.vu.nl)
Organizers: Patricia Rodriguez Mosquera (Wesleyan University), Ayse K. Uskul (University of Essex), and Hans IJzerman (VU University, Amsterdam

The concept of ‘honor’ in modern day societies has both positive (respect, trust) and negative (honor killings) implications. Researchers in social psychology and anthropology have long been interested in the concept of honor and its psychological and societal consequences in different cultural contexts, but there has been limited interaction between these disciplines, and indeed within the disciplines, on the subject. The aim of this meeting is to bring together established and early career researchers across a range of fields and disciplines both from within and outside Europe to share and integrate innovative research using a variety of methodologies to study honor in different cultural contexts. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss challenges concerning understandings of honor in multicultural societies and provide a platform for researchers to discuss possible future collaborative work and funding opportunities.

The format of communication will include keynotes and presentations followed by discussion sessions initiated by discussants, as well as posters. This will be a small group meeting with around 30 participants which should facilitate interaction between researchers.

The deadline for applications for posters and presentations is May 31, 2010 at 13.00 (CET). Potential participants can send an abstract of maximum 250 words by email to Hans IJzerman (h.ijzerman@psy.vu.nl) with ‘Honor Meeting’ indicated on the subject line. Registration fee is 50 Euros. To apply, please send a brief statement of interest with research interests to Hans IJzerman with ‘Application Honor Meeting’ indicated in the subject line.
