Indigenous psychology (IP) examines the impact of culture and other social processes on people’s intra-psychic processes, cognition and behaviour, beyond the boundary of Western psychology. Southeast Asian psychology has long been under-represented in the mainstream psychology, in uncovering its indigenous ways of knowing.                         This first scientific meeting hopes to bring together scholars from all over the globe to empower the local psychologists in SEA regions to conduct indigenous and culturally relevant research, which could widen the conceptual space in global psychological research. We also aim to include under-represented psychologists from the less-developed countries in SEA regions, to amplify their voices and concerns for an equitable global psychology.  

                This meeting is sponsored by AASP’s (The Asian Association of Social Psychology) with joint mission to provide scholars in Asia and the Pacific, specifically Southeast Asia, with a collaborative forum for discussion, promotion, capability building, and publication of their research
