Conversations in Conflict Studies Presents Leonard Newman

“Maxwell’s Pioneer of Social Psychology?: Whatever happened to Floyd Allport”

Social psychology plays a major
role in the study of conflict resolution, and the first graduate social
psychology program was established by Floyd Allport in the Maxwell School at
Syracuse University. Allport’s career and complicated
legacy will be reviewed, aided by unpublished documents culled from the University archive’s Floyd Henry Allport Papers.

Leonard Newman is professor of psychology at Syracuse University as well as associate chair, director of undergraduate studies and director of the Ph.D. program in social psychology.
