The Ursula Gielen Global Psychology Book Award |
|
The Ursula Gielen Global Psychology Book Award is presented to the author(s) or editor(s) of a recent book that makes the greatest contribution to psychology as an international discipline and profession, or more specifically, the degree to which the book adds to our understanding of global phenomena and problems from a psychological point of view. The award supports the mission of APA Division 52 (International Psychology), which is to advance psychology internationally as a science and profession and through education and advocacy.
The award honors the memory of Ursula Gielen (1916-1997, Germany), who was deeply concerned with the well being of indigenous, persecuted, and poor people around the world, with a special emphasis on women and children. Her legacy and commitment to international concerns and human welfare continues through her children and this award.
The winner will receive a stipend of $500 to help subsidize his or her presentation as a part of the Division 52 program at the annual APA Convention. The form is available for download:
