Announcing our Fabulous Featured Speakers

 

The theme of the 2024 WPA conference is Psychology in Action: Using psychology to address larger social problems. In line with this focus, we have a number of fabulous, invited speakers whose work applies psychology to improving the world. We have a sampling of these speakers listed below.

 

Dr. Sarah Alsaidi, Columbia University – Microaggression workshop | Dr. Robert Cialdini, Arizona State University – Social norms messaging for environmental action | Dr. William D. Crano, Claremont Graduate University – Persuasion to prevent adolescent drug use | Dr. Cedric Dark, Baylor University Medical School – Prevention of gun violence| Dr. Keanan Joyner, Cal Berkeley – Psychological mechanisms underlying risk for substance use disorders | Dr. Dacher Keltner, Cal Berkeley – The science of awe

In addition to these distinguished speakers, we also will feature numerous engaging sessions including our ever-popular statistics workshops, teaching conference and conversation hours. As always, we have a full program of CE available. Other notable highlights of WPA include yoga classes and opportunities to engage in mindfulness and gratitude exercises. In another first, we will engage community service project, partnering with a local San Francisco non-profit this year, Project Open Hand, serving clients with chronic health issues through nutrition and education. This activity will occur during the convention.
