Contemporary Southern Psychology
Welcome to the website for the peer-reviewed journal Contemporary Southern Psychology! CSP is founded and managed by social sciences faculty at the University of Louisiana
at Monroe. The vision of Contemporary Southern Psychology is to be collaborative with all campus disciplines, giving southern regional professors,
students, practitioners, and professionals a peer-reviewed venue through which they
may share their research.
Psychology and Aging Resource Collaborative (PARC)
The first issue is slated to publish in conjunction with the 2018 annual conference
for the Psychology and Aging Resource Collaborative (PARC). PARC is an annual conference
for mental health/healthcare professionals. Its mission is to educate the public regarding
resources available for elder members of our communities and society. The PARC committee,
comprised of professors Mkay Bonner, Rick Stevens, Chad Lewing, and Burton Ashworth,
have invited distinguished speakers based on their experience, demonstrated skill
in giving presentations, and their intellectual contributions to the discipline of
mental health. Presentations include sessions on current topics related to the regional
elderly population. Please click here for a PDF of the conference brochure.
Forthcoming Issue
Disciplines represented in the inaugural publication of Contemporary Southern Psychology and at the PARC conference include psychology, nursing, dental hygiene, and criminal
justice, among others.
