The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), Division 2 of the American Psychological Association, is committed to supporting and enhancing the teaching of psychology. They aim to encourage educational excellence, foster an inclusive and equitable academic environment, and promote the professional development of psychology educators. They are also focused on addressing systemic racism and inequity within their scope, advocating for diversity and inclusion in the field.
The Keynote Presenter Grant Committee of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology supports the participation of presenters from underrepresented groups at conferences, aiming to diversify and enrich the field. The grant offers $9000 annually, distributed as $1500 per recipient for travel reimbursement for six presenters to attend conferences. Funding can exceed $1500 for special circumstances, such as international presenters or needed accommodations. The initiative encourages applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and supports efforts to address systemic racism and inequity in psychology through encouraging broader participation and dialogue at academic conferences.
