We invite proposal submissions for the 2025 Annual Symposium in Forensic Psychology. We are seeking proposals that apply to the practice of forensic psychology, including the business of forensic psychology as well as criminal, civil, and family law matters. Proposals addressing current issues, ethics, diversity, research, treatment, and assessment in forensic psychology are encouraged. Proposed presentations should be empirically based.
Proposals are due on or before 11:59 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Proposals will be evaluated through a peer review process that considers intellectual merit, innovation, and applications for practice. Decisions will be made and communicated to proposal submitters before November 12, 2024.
Proposals may be submitted for presentation of a workshop or paper. Workshops present evidence-based information that can be applied to the practice of forensic psychology and/or the law. Workshops will typically be scheduled for 1 hour time slots. Proposals for workshops must include a summary (up to 500 words), 3 learning objectives, and at least 5 references of recently published research articles that will be used in the presentation.
Proposals may be submitted for a panel discussion on a topic useful for forensic psychologists and/or attorneys. Panel presentations may be scheduled for longer time periods than paper (workshop) presentations. Proposals for panel presentations should include a summary (up to 500 words), 3 learning objectives, and at least 3 references of recently published research articles that are relevant to the panel discussion.
Undergraduate and graduate students may submit proposals to present 1 or 2 posters during the symposium. Posters will be presented verbally and visually during the poster session. Proposals for poster presentations should include a summary (up to 500 words) that concludes with an explanation of how forensic psychologists and/or attorneys can apply the research. Poster presentations must have a student first author/presenter and a faculty advisor who serves as a co-author; other co-authors are optional.
