In January 1978, the International Society of Political Psychology was founded by Jeanne N. Knutson of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles. Since that time, the Society has grown to over 1,000 members who share this area of scholarly interest.
Annual meeting
Each meeting since the first one in New York City in September 1978 has involved a four-day program of workshops, panel discussions, invited addresses, and special events. Society meetings generally offer over 100 panels, round tables, and workshops, with over 300 presentations. In 2011, ISPP also initiated its Summer Academy during three days preceding the annual meeting. The Summer Academy aims to train interested faculty and students in both foundational and cutting-edge research in the area of political psychology. The locations of the Summer Academy and annual meetings rotate between North America, Europe and other locations around the globe.
