IAPSP CORE VALUES 

A Culture of Connectivity

Neither people nor theories evolve in isolation.  We may come from different countries and, at times, different methodologies, but what links IAPSP together is a deep belief in everyone's humanity. 

Engaging the Socio-Political 

Embracing complexity, we explore socio-political contexts throughout our work. Our ethical responsibility to understand and promote the dignity of all persons encompasses our discussions, workshops, conferences and publications. 

We stand unequivocally by our DEI statement.
