2024 Templeton Prize Laureate

 

PsySSA extends its heartfelt congratulations to Prof Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela on her remarkable achievement of becoming the third South African, following Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Professor Emeritus George Ellis, to be awarded the esteemed Templeton Prize. This prestigious accolade honours individuals who have leveraged science to address issues fundamental to humanity. Professor Gobodo-Madikizela’s pioneering work on the reparative quest, aimed at disrupting intergenerational cycles of violence to foster shared futures, is profoundly relevant in the world today. Her scholarship serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact we can have on society, both as psychologists and as human beings, through our recognition and affirmation of the humanity of others.
As we celebrate this extraordinary milestone, we are inspired to continue our collective efforts in advancing psychological science and practice to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of humanity.

HPSIG Podcast: What exactly is Health Psychology, and why does it matter in South Africa?

by Dr. Bronwyne Coetzee

In this episode, we speak to Dr Bronwyne Coetzee, a psychology researcher and senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University, who provides a clear overview of health psychology. In this podcast, Dr Coetzee argues for its critical importance within a context of rising non-communicable diseases, syndemics, and substantial structural barriers to health. In addition, she explains the field’s current status as a formally unrecognised sub-discipline within the country, and discusses the next steps required to establish it as a professional registration and subject of university programs.
