Beyond Boundaries: Reflection and Forward Looking Into Psychology and Culture
An International Summer Course by Center for Indigenous and Cultural Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada
Course Overview
This summer course aims to initiate discussions on Psychology and Culture, which continue to evolve. It will encourage a deeper understanding of psychology and culture by acknowledging diverse perspectives and the work of experts in related fields. This summer course holds special significance as it coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Center for Indigenous and Cultural Psychology (CICP), Faculty of Psychology UGM. Thus, we will start our journey with reflection of the contribution of CICP in the evolving discourse of psychology and culture. Following that, the summer course will re-examine culture as a dynamic process within the context of psychology while generating new perspectives and insights on current research methods, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods, as a response to the rapidly changing world. Additionally, it seeks to explore current research themes in psychology and culture. Finally, the summer course will invite participants to envision the future direction and potential developments in this field, encouraging collaborative discussion and critical thinking.
