It's spring, the time of new beginnings, and appropriately the
new module Advancing social psychology
(DD317) is about to hatch. The main production team have been OU social
psychologists Eleni Andreouli, David Kaposi, Rachel Manning, Paul Stenner and
myself, Stephanie Taylor. Our aim was to try to pin down a fluid field, social
psychology today. The social world is inevitably in a state of change. (At the
moment we could point to the effects of Brexit negotiations, disability benefit
changes, wild weather in many locations and new incidents of terrorism, as well
as the light relief of new music and tv and spring fashion.) Logically, the
psychology of people in their social contexts has to stretch and change to
accommodate its subject, or rather its subjects, us, in all our variety. To
show how we've approached this, over the next few weeks we'll be posting some
short discussions of things that are happening and the connections to the new
module. So watch this space!
In the meantime, you might want to look up details of the
module itself
