Invitation to the Second Marxism and Psychology Conference



On behalf of the organising committee, it is our pleasure to invite you 
to the /Second Marxism & Psychology Conference/, which will be held from 
9 to 12 August 2012, at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de 
Hidalgo, located in Morelia, Michoacán, Western Mexico. Like the first 
conference in Prince Edward Island, Canada, this second conference aims 
at bringing activists, students and scholars together to discuss 
exciting issues at the intersection of Marxism and Psychology. 



As contemporary psychology goes through these times of crisis, revolts 
and protests around the world, we need to reflect again on the 
significance of Marxism for psychological scholarship and practice. We 
know that different fields of psychology have already been permeated, 
questioned, challenged and concerned by Marxist theory and practice 
during the last century. Currently several scholars and activists 
recognize the potential for Marxism to transform psychology. A number of 
them acknowledge the increasing role of Marxist theory and practice in 
their scientific pursuits and political activities. And many scholars 
make research on the historical and current positions in the 
intersection of Marxism with psychology.  At present, however, there 
still are relatively few opportunities for all these people to exchange 
their findings and their views on this essential topic. 



We believe that this /Second Marxism & Psychology Conference/ will be a 
unique intellectual forum to encounter different and often competing 
views on Marxism from the different fields of psychology and other 
disciplines, as well as an excellent opportunity for scholars and 
activists to meet again and introduce a new generation of psychologists 
to the Marxist perspective



Conference topic areas include: Marxist Psychology, Marxism and 
Educational Psychology, Marxism and Clinical Psychology, Marxism and 
Social Psychology, Marxism and Critical Psychology, Marxism and 
Psychoanalysis; Marxism, Humanism and Humanistic Psychology; Marxism, 
Feminism and Psychology; Marxism, Liberation Psychology and Community 
Psychology; Activity Theory and Cultural Historical Psychology.



The site of the conference, the city of* *Morelia, was declared a UNESCO 
World Heritage Site for its well preserved colonial buildings and layout 
of the historic center. The Mexican Federal Government lists 1,113 old 
buildings having historical value, including the impressive cathedral, 4 
important monasteries, 3 convents, 4 old colleges, many large churches 
and palaces, and some buildings of the Universidad Michoacana de San 
Nicolás de Hidalgo, the oldest institution of higher education in the 
New World, founded in 1540 by Vasco de Quiroga. Also in Morelia is the 
first music conservatory in the Americas, the Conservatorio de las 
Rosas, established in 1734.
