Dear administrator of the SJDM listserv,

We are organizing the Psychology and Social Justice (PASJ) Conference 2008,
to be held on April 19th, 2008, at the New School for Social Research in New
York City. As the behavioral decision making community has many researchers
interested in social preferences, justice, and related topics, we were
wondering if you could distribute an announcement of the conference and its
program through the SJDM listserv.

In case you can do us this favor, please find the announcement text below.

Thanks a lot,
Bernhard Leidner, Patricia Slawuta, Drs. Emanuele Castano and Jeremy Ginges

CONFERENCE PROGRAM (see below)

The annual Psychology and Social Justice (PASJ) Conference will be held on
the 19th of April 2008, hosted by the New School for Social Research in New
York City.

PASJ is an annual national research-oriented gathering of faculty and
graduate students whose work focuses on social justice. The conference will
feature a keynote address by Russell Hardin (New York University, Political
Science) and invited talks by distinguished scholars including John Darley
(Princeton, Psychology), Scott Atran (University of Michigan, Anthropology),
and Tom Tyler (New York University, Psychology). We invite submissions
addressing a wide range of issues in social justice research including (but
not limited to) prejudice and stereotyping, legal and governmental
procedures and outcomes, low status and minority group membership, and
economic and social inequity.

Social justice research is by necessity a multidisciplinary affair and PASJ
typically includes presentations from faculty and graduate students from a
wide range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, anthropology,
political science, and law as well as by practitioners and policy makers.
Accepted presentations will be announcement on the conference website around
March 15th.

PASJ 2008 will run from 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 19th, 2008,
followed by a reception. There will be a keynote address, talks by
distinguished scholars, and several student speakers. An all-day poster
session will take place in parallel. Refreshments and food will be provided
to allow attendees to stay in the conference space during breaks for
networking and discussion.
