Dutch Political Psychology

PhD position — A.I. Feels project (University of Amsterdam)

We are looking for a PhD candidate to be part of the A.I. Feels interdisciplinary research project. A.I. Feels investigates how the use of emotion-sensitive A.I. chatbots by key politicians and civil servants affects policymaking. The project studies this using different disciplinary perspectives, including political psychology, political communication, human-machine communication, interpretative approaches and the political sociology of emotions. The PhD candidate will work with Rosa Sanchez, Carolin Ischen, and Gijs Schumacher.

Call for edited book proposals — Routledge Global Perspectives in Political Psychology series

Cengiz Erisen and I (Martijn van Zomeren) are looking for new edited book proposals in our Routledge Global Perspectives in Political Psychology series — see the titles so far at that link.

The format is quite fitting for bringing together a collection of perspectives and insights/findings on a societally relevant topic. Chapters can range from theoretical to empirical, and from review of published research to novel primary studies. The focus is political psychology, which is an interdisciplinary field with psychology and political science as key audiences (but also sociology, philosophy, and communication science). Proposals are developed with the series editors (Cengiz Erisen and myself) and then contracted with the book editor(s).

Please contact me if you are interested in editing a book in the series, have questions, or would like to know more: Martijn van Zomeren, m.van.zomeren@rug.nl.
