Srdečne Vás pozývame na prednášku profesora Paula Stennera z Open University (UK), ktorý bude diskutovať o minulosti a budúcnosti psychológie ako disciplíny, a argumentovať za psychológiu druhého rádu, ktorá stavia na kultúrnych a historických cestách a je schopná pozorovať psychosociálny život samotnej psychológie.
Stretneme sa v Infocentre UK (Štúrova 9, 811 02 Staré Mesto) v utorok 14. marca 2023. Prednáška bude v anglickom jazyku. Vstup je voľný, každý je vítaný.
Title: Is Psychology dead? Should it be reborn?
Abstract: On one level, far from being in crisis or even dead, Psychology is thriving. Ever more undergraduate and postgraduate students opt to study Psychology, and ever more social and political issues are now expressed and discussed in a psychological register by an ever growing army of expert Psychologists. And yet, viewed from another angle, Psychology is a discipline in perpetual crisis, criticised for ‘psychologising’ complex issues by means of a controversial model of scientific practice that conceals the normative basis of its knowledge claims. In this presentation Professor Paul Stenner will reflect on the unique position of Psychology and – taking account of recent examples of crisis – argue the case for a Psychology of the ‘second-order’. Building on recent historical research with Graham Richards, a distinction will be made between Psychology (the discipline – spelled with a big P) and psychology (the subject matter, with small p). This distinction helps us to conceive of a second-order Psychology that is capable of observing the psychosocial life of Psychology itself, and also of following the cultural and historical pathways of psychology so often ignored by Psychology of the first-order.
