Dear AASP Newsletter subscribers,
Season’s Greetings from the AASP! We are delighted to share an early glimpse of AASP 2027, our next Biennial Conference, to be held 6-8 August, 2027, at James Cook University’s Cairns Campus, Australia. Please click here (or the image below) to download the Seasons Greetings and first newsletter from the 2027 Conference. The conference organizing team of A/Prof Wendy Li, Ms. Carolyn Heward, A/Prof Josephine Pryce, A/Prof Smita Singh, & Dr. Marc Chao (Editor) send their warmest greetings; announce Professor Pat Dudgeon as a Keynote Speaker; and request your help to complete a short survey to help shape the AASP 2027 experience.
We are also happy to announce the appointment of three new Representatives-At-Large: Trong Mai (Vietnam), Diwa Malaya Quinones (Philippines), and Eugene Tee (Malaysia). Representatives-at-large play an important role in facilitating cooperation and communication between AASP and local psychologists and organizations, and help represent diverse locales on the Executive Committee. We are grateful for their support and involvement! Enormous thanks to outgoing representatives Prof Liz Jones and Dr. Minh Hieu, especially for their roles in running the 2025 conference and connecting AASP to the Vietnam Association of Psychology (VAP) respectively.
With heartfelt wishes for a peaceful season–
Emma E. Buchtel
Secretary General
Asian Association of Social Psychology
