Welcome to a Seminar on the Philosophy of Science in Psychology

24 oktober 2025 10:15 – 12:00 Östra Mark

How do our underlying assumptions about knowledge, human nature, and reality shape what we see – and don’t see – in our research?

We, a group of PhD students in Psychology at Örebro University, invite you to a seminar where we’ll explore the philosophical foundations behind our dissertations. The discussion will center around two broad perspectives: one more clinical (e.g., research on pain, sleep, anger, and emotions), and one more social constructivist (e.g., research on developmental psychology, youth civic engagement, and individual responsibility in society).

Senior moderators will guide each of the two standpoints, and we’ll end with a joint discussion across perspectives.

Join us for a session of reflection, dialogue, and fresh perspectives! Register here, no later than the 16th of October. 

More information to come.
