2024 Self and Identity Preconference at SPSP

Welcome to the Self & Identity's SPSP 2024 Preconference! The International Society for Self and Identity promotes scholarship on the individual and collective aspects of the self, and showcases some outstanding research at this preconference. This year's theme was "Collective Identity and Belonging," highlighting the role of group membership and social belonging in developing and maintaining collective identities. As a fundamental need, belonging powerfully influences our social interactions and outcomes within the context of school and the workplace as well as the way we navigate social categories like gender, race, and culture. Exploring the impact of belonging will help us to better understand the social nature of identity and self. The preconference featured work of eminent and emerging scholars in these areas, as well as addresses from Early Career and Lifetime Career Award winners from the International Society for Self and Identity. The preconference also featured a poster session and a mentoring and networking lunch.
