Guardians of Science: Validation and Institutionalization of Parallel Psychology Fields in Contemporary Iran
- 14:00 to 15:30
- Colloquium
- Lise Meitner Research Group
- Zahra Abbasi
Zahra Abbasi will present a chapter from her dissertation project in the Lise Meitner Research Group Colloquium. In this chapter, Abbasi explains the popular notion of elm or science, and elmi or scientific as significant validatory markers in self-care practices and health norms as opposed to other practices such as theological performances. Throughout the chapter, she inquires: In what ways are advocates of such parallel performances and stakeholders within the Iranian Association of Psychology involved in validating and/or subverting the attempts to institutionalize and sustain their respective fields?
