In 1995, Social Psychologists from Australia and New Zealand voted to form the Society of Australasian Social Psychologists (SASP). The Society was formed from an informal network of social psychologists in the two countries, who had been meeting at an annual conference since 1972. One of the main aims of SASP is to facilitate contact with social psychologists in countries around the world, and this is achieved through annual meetings and regular networking via newsletters and an email bulletin board.
The current president of SASP is Jolanda Jetten from the University of Queensland. The Secretary is Megan Oaten from Macquarie University in Sydney, New South Wales. The Treasurer is Michael Halloran, from La Trobe University, Victoria.
The Society produces a directory of Social Psychologists in Australia and New Zealand, and also has an email bulletin board - SASP email list. This email network can be used by non-members, as well as members, to circulate information about conferences, new positions, and other matters of interest.
One of the aims of SASP is to promote undergraduate and postgraduate education in social psychology in Australia and New Zealand. The SASP Post-graduate Representative is Katherine Greenaway from the University of Queensland.
