Social Psychology: The First 100 Years
2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of the first two textbooks titled Social Psychology. One was by William McDougall, a psychologist. The other was by E. A. Ross, a sociologist and chair of our Department at the time.
On September 26-27, 2008, we celebrated the centennial of the field of Social Psychology with a series of spectacular talks, and a Reception and Gala Dinner here on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. We are pleased to be able to share the talks on this site.
