The Society for Australasian Social Psychology (SASP) Summer School

Every second year, SASP organises a Summer School for postgraduate students who are members of SASP.  It is a fantastic opportunity for postgraduate students from Australasia and overseas to further their knowledge and experience in social psychology and to establish strong networks with academics and postgraduate students in the area. Details of upcoming and past SASP Summer Schools can be found here: https://sasp.org.au/events/sasp-summer-school/.
