2025 Society for Psychological Anthropology (SPA) Biennial Meeting

The SPA Biennial brings together scholars from all levels – students, postdocs, junior & senior faculty—who are exploring diverse issues in psychological anthropology. The conference is an opportunity to immerse yourself in current debates, controversies, and state-of-the-art thinking across a range of approaches within the field.  This is also an opportunity to meet new colleagues and old friends alike. We are planning many informal events and spaces in which we can think out loud, together.  For those new to the SPA, we warmly welcome you as part of this community!

We recognize that a post-pandemic and Zoom world can induce people to stay at home and on-line.  That sort of habitus misses out on the lived experience and collective energy of shared space.  We are confident that the ambiance of the Santa Ana Pueblo’s Tamaya conference center makes this meeting worth showing up for.  The program offers innovative forums for interaction, including plenaries, pre-conference methods/writing workshops, mentoring for students/junior scholars, and more.
