• Contact national psychology associations: The Office of International Affairs provides contact information for over eighty national psychology associations and societies. You can find a directory of national associations on the Office’s website at http://www.apa.org/international/natlorgs.html.

• Look in your library: there are a number of recently published handbooks of international psychology that have chapters describing psychology  in regions of the world.

• While some organizations have only institutional members (for example, the International Union of Psychological Science), there are numerous specialized international psychology organizations with individual memberships. In addition to providing a means to contact colleagues who share your interests, membership benefits often include reduced journal subscriptions and conference fees. A directory of international psychology organizations is on the Office of International Affairs website at http://www.apa.org/international/intlorgs.html.

• A calendar of international psychology conferences and congresses is available on the Office of International Affairs website at http://www.apa.org/international/calendar.html. 

• The calendar includes meetings taking place internationally, and it also includes US-based meetings that attract international attendees – including APA’s annual convention.
