Building on the success of the first-ever continental psychology congress, PAPU2017, the 24th Annual Psychology Congress (MAMELA2018) is proudly hosted by the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA) at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg. The congress boasts a scientific programme that will reflect global cutting-edge and critical trends, including epistemological, theoretical and applied developments whilst also addressing the need for a relevant, decolonised South African Psychology.
The theme of the congress is Mamela Psychology. ‘Mamela’ is a Sesotho word meaning “listen”. This indigenous term wonderfully captures the essence of the discipline. The congress will focus on psychology’s role…to listen with humility and act with integrity.
