Boston College was honored to host the annual Spring Meeting of the Society for Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology (STPP – APA Division 24) in 2023. This gathering brought together scholars, practitioners, and students to build community and exchange ideas around the theory, practice, and reimagining of psychology as both a discipline and a force for social change. ​The conference's presidential theme was “Constructing the Psychological Humanities.”

The Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology (SQIP) was thrilled to host their annual meeting in 2024 at Boston College. The society invited scholars, practitioners, and students to contribute to a vibrant discussion that challenges the status quo and reimagines psychological knowledge. The field of psychology stands at a critical juncture, where the imperative to reflect on and address its historical underpinnings in racism and colonialism is undeniable. The conference encouraged submissions that engage critically with psychology's racist and colonial past, offer reflexive qualitative research, and propose paradigms or methods that foreground knowledge from historically underrepresented or marginalized communities.
