2/6 Social psych emerged as a discipline after WWII, aimed at comprehending the depths of human capacity for atrocity with the aspiration of preventing its recurrence. Since then, social psychologists have been researching, teaching, and advocating for social justice agendas.

To my fellow social psychologist colleagues and friends. I recognize that the situation in the Middle East is complicated. Allow me to share a brief thread. 1/6
