To promote the launch of the Global Network of Psychologists for Human Rights, we are going to produce a celebratory video! It will begin with a short statement about the importance of human rights & psychology, followed by a collage of voices labeling human rights issues. Then the video will continue with short (1 minute) statements by Advisory Committee and Steering Committee members about the connection between psychology and human rights / human rights and psychology. These statements can be general or can be about a single topic.
Please read below for how you can contribute with your short videos (taken with your phone):
All videos can be uploaded on this site here
- Video take #1: this purpose is to develop a film of many voices saying the areas in which psychology and human rights overlap. To do this we ask each of you to say these terms. Video: pause 5 seconds, say a content area (e.g. “children’s right to an education”; “women”; “refugees”) then pause 5 seconds more. You can make a continuous tape with several terms (we will edit out sections).
- Video take #2: the purpose is to gather short statements endorsing the goals of the GNPHR and/or the connection between psychology and human rights, and why the GNPHR will help. We are aiming for short statements – at most 2-3 minutes, but shorter is fine too.

In honor of our friend, colleague, mentor, Jean Lau Chin please add comments and tributes to this page.
Dear ICP Members – ICP will be participating in the International Congress of Psychology as an “academic partner”. We will prepare a small “program within a program” of all the presentations given by ICP members. Please help prepare that by letting us know your presentations for ICP – by abstract number.
Want to explore a topic with ICP colleagues?
A longstanding tradition at ICP is the development of Interest Groups.
Interest Groups are informal groupings of members who are interested in pursuing a common topic. Interest groups meet to plan activities such as a research project, a panel for the ICP Conference, a webinar, a bibliography, or an article for the ICP newsletter.
Those interested in leading / joining an interest group should send a possible interest group title, a short description of the issue or topic, and their contact information to the Interest Group Coordinator, Machiko Fukuhara.
Welcome note from Interest Group Coordinator
Current Interest Groups include:
- Cross-Cultural/Interdisciplinary Study on Wellness of Human Beings (Co-Chairs: Naoki Asazuma, Machiko Fukuhara, Ann O’Roark)
The purpose of this Interest Group is to carry out a cross-cultural/interdisciplinary study on human beings for their Wellness. The emphasis is on scientific, evidence based study to explore knowledge about human beings with which transfer to use for them in their real life situation (knowledge in to action). The first topic (presented in a symposium at ICP2019) is Individual and Group Factors Impacting Human Wellbeing
- Endangered people and children in human rights (Chair Sandra E. S.Neil)
