Psychology of Religion, from Persian to Russian

If you speak Persian or Russian, you may be interested to know that Psychology of Religion by Masoud Azerbaijani and Seyyed Mahdi Mousavi, has now been translated from Persian to Russian by Dmitry Biyayev. This book is published in Moscow, according to Ahlul Bayt News Agency. If a reader in Russia or Iran happens to obtain a copy, please pass along to me a summary of the book. It would be most interesting to see its chapter titles, or to have a synopsis of the approach taken by the authors.

Doomsday Group Emerges

A doomsday group in Russia has emerged from its cave where they were awaiting the end of the world, according to this story from CBC News in Canada. I did not see coverage of the group in my usual US news sources, and so thought that you might also have missed hearing of the news. The CBC describes them as nominally Christian, with a leader who claims to be a prophet.

This news might be of use to people teaching a course in psych of religion or related topics.

Russia: Problems of Controlling Psycho-emotional Conditions

Psychologists at Astrakhan State University are hosting a conference devoted to psycho-emotional health, October 3-5, 2008. They invite your participation, either in person or by submitting a paper for publication in the conference proceedings.

I am convinced that meeting colleagues in other countries & cultures, and exchanging ideas with them about our common interests, is one of the most important ways that we can advance our understanding of psychology throughout the world. Encountering different perspectives encourages us to examine our own assumptions more critically.

Please, give serious thought to participating in this conference, even if "only" remotely, by sending a paper. Your work will be read eagerly by psychologists in Russia, and you will be rewarded with the chance to read some of their work as well. The cost is low, both in terms of the exchange rate and in terms of the time investment required to write an article for the conference. But the payoff can be great, as you expand your contact with psychologists in Russia and elsewhere.

Here are the details I have at this time:

Unique Opportunity: Kazan State University

I received word today of an unusual opportunity for psychologists to participate in the Third All-Russian Annual Training Conference. Although the conference will be held at Kazan State University, you need not be present there to be involved. You can participate from the comfort of your own office, as they are accepting submissions (up to 5 pages, single-spaced) for publication in the conference proceedings. You would miss the hospitality that comes with actually being in Kazan, but you gain a chance to share your knowledge with interested colleagues beyond your usual range of acquaintance.

For us in the west, participation in this form is very inexpensive, just 450 rubles (about $18, plus a fee for your bank to transfer the funds). The main impediment I see is that the conference is very rapidly approaching -- they need your materials by October 15th. If you have something "in progress" or in a form that might be easily adapted, consider participating. You will connect with colleagues that you have never met, and share your theories & results with people who might not easily encounter them. Who knows-- you might even find that it opens doors for you to travel there later. It was an opportunity like this that eventually led to my Ukrainian trip 10 years ago to attend a conference, one of the highlights of my career for the experiences I had and the friends I made.

The information I received follows. Please share word of this conference with others who might be interested.
