Above is an interactive diagram depicting what we have identified as three overlapping research interests that exist in our program: Self & Identity, Intergroup Relations & Social Policy, and Justice & Injustice. These three research areas are represented in diverse ways throughout our program's Courses, Brown Bags, Conferences, and other areas, like our Workgroups and research centers at which students and faculty work throughout the wider CUNY system.
We share Ignacio Martin-Baro’s belief that psychologists should “make a contribution toward changing all those conditions that dehumanize the majority of the population, alienating their consciousness and blocking the development of their historical identity.” (Ignacio Martin-Baro, The Role of the Psychologist, 1996, p. 41)
The Social-Personality Program is based at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Nearly a dozen Social-Personality faculty are in residence at the Graduate Center, and additional faculty from other CUNY campuses (including Hunter, Queens, and Brooklyn) also participate as teachers and research supervisors for Ph.D. students. In addition to the Social-Personality Program, Developmental and Environmental Psychology Ph.D. training programs are based at the Graduate School. There is considerable interaction among student and faculty from all three psychology sub-programs.
Social-Personality Psychology at the CUNY Graduate School offers students a wide range of professional opportunities for teaching and research, as well as personal support. The Social-Personality Psychology Program is home to the Health Psychology Concentration. Teaching-Assistant and Adjunct positions are available to advanced students at many of CUNY's branch campuses. Doctoral candidates at the CUNY Graduate Center can gain certification in Women's Studies and Advanced Social Science Methods, and can participate in the Center for Social Research, the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS), the Center of African American and Caribbean Diaspora, and the African, Latino, Asian, Native American Student Organization (ALANA).
