#MediaPsy2020
Be a part of the conversation that builds a better post-pandemic future.
We are facing a new normal—a global cultural reset. Media and technology have become the lifelines to work, healthcare, education, entertainment, social and interpersonal ties, and commerce. They also expose social disparities and challenges.
Scholars and practitioners at the nexus of psychology, media, and technology have a unique opportunity to redefine normal and promote the role of psychology, social justice and human flourishing in the structures and content that support recovery.
Join the conversation that builds a better post-pandemic future. Listen and engage with experts in media and psychology from around the world. Network with a global community of creatives, media psychologists, and business professionals.
