Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology
Every year we hold an annual conference here at Claremont -- the Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology -- and it has been ongoing for more than 20 years. The conference theme changes year to year, and this year, it is concerned with narrative and metaphor. The title of the conference is “Warring with Words: Narrative and Metaphor in Domestic and International Politics." We thought it might be an interesting theme in this year's run up to the election.
Click here for more information about the symposium. The symposium is free for admitted students, but you need to RSVP in advance to John.LaVelle@cgu.edu.
