Embracing the theme Psychology for Society, this historic PAPU2017 will showcase the best in psychology and its allied disciplines, featuring academics, researchers, practitioners and students from Africa and the rest of our diverse globe.

While PAPU2017 seeks to chart a positive trajectory for the growth of psychology in Africa, the scientific programme will reflect global cutting-edge and critical trends, including epistemological, theoretical and applied developments and innovations that will contribute to the discipline in all its forms, so that there is more consonance between psychology and the people and environments that make up fast-changing societies everywhere…  For more information about the upcoming 1st Pan-African Psychology Congress or to view text.
