Psychology & The Other

One distinctive feature of the "Psychology and the Other" conference, held in October 2011, was the intentional pairing of scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds. This way, the resulting conversation would be truly interdisciplinary in scope and thereby raise the likelihood of breaking some new intellectual ground. This special issue presents four such pairings, each of which represents a different angle and approach to the issues at hand.
