Dear Past, Current and Future RC42 Members,
It has been a while since our last correspondence, but a global pandemic slowed things down a bit! We are now looking to revitalize RC 42 (Research Committee 42 – Social Psychology) of the International Sociological Association. We are going to start by sending out a few newsletters.
We would like to publish our next RC42 newsletter and your contributions to it are very important and most welcomed. If your recent professional activities are of interest to the social psychological community, please let us know.

Items of interest include:

1. Upcoming conferences, calls for papers or grant opportunities.
2. Reviews of conferences that would be of interest to RC42 members.
3. Reviews (up to 400 words) and recommendations of notable social psychological related books. In the case of recommendations, please write some words about the significance of the title.
4. Congratulatory notes, including: announcements of promotions, new positions, awards, honors, grants and other achievements.
5. Recent activities (publications, presentations) that may be of interest to the social psychological community.
6. Submissions about projects in progress that may be of interest to the social psychological community (up to 250 words).
7. Nominations of doctoral candidates (self nominations are also welcomed who are willing to present their studies to the wider social psychological community (up to 300 words).
8. Submission of social psychological teaching materials (e.g. films, activities and syllabi) for both graduate and undergraduate levels. Please write some words about the ways this material has been useful in your teaching.

We would like to have these submissions for our the next issue of our newsletter by Sunday, May 14, 2023, so please send your contributions during the next four weeks to our Newsletter Editor, Yujia Lyu (yujia-lyu@uiowa.edu).

I thank you in advance for your collaboration.
Sincerely,
Alison Bianchi
RC42 President
