The EASP Small Group Meeting Lisbon 2010 received the following keynotes:

Professor Dominic Abrams

Professor Dr. Dominic Abrams focuses his research in both social and developmental psychology. His main interests are in intergroup processes and their applied implications, from childhood to old age. His work ranges from laboratory experiments to national surveys and action research. His research spans subjects ranging from stereotype threat, to the effects of alcohol on group dynamics, to the impact of music and the arts on young people’s social identity and sense of community. Recently he has been collaborating with Age Concern England, the Department Communities and Local Government, Department for Work and Pensions, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission to bring social psychological research and theory on prejudice into their policy frameworks. He has served as Secretary of the BPS Social Psychology Section, the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology, and as Chair of the BPS Research Board and the Joint Committee for Psychology in Higher Education. Currently he is a Council member on SPSSI and the Academy of Social Sciences, and a member of the ESRC Research Grants Board. Professor Abrams graduated from the University of Manchester in 1979, completed a Masters at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1980 and received his PhD from the University of Kent, UK. After lectureships at Bristol and Dundee Universities he returned to Kent in 1989, where he is Professor of Social Psychology and director of the Centre for the Study of Group Processes. A Chartered Psychologist, he is a Fellow of SPSSI, SPSP, and the UK Academy of Social Sciences. He is co-founding editor of the journal Group Processes and Intergroup Relations.

Professor Karen Wynn

Professor Dr. Karen Wynn is a leading researcher regarding cognitive development in childhood. More specifically, she investigates core structures of cognition; those inherent cognitive mechanisms with which we interpret incoming information and which enable us to make sense of and reason about the world. She and her students are studying various aspects of cognition within the first months of life, as a means of investigating the nature of the human mind prior to the influences of language, culture, education, and extensive experience. The aim of Professor Wynn's research is to gain a better understanding of how the human mind is inherently structured to interpret and make sense of the world -- what is the nature of the underlying mechanisms of thought. Professor Wynn joined the Department of Psychology at Yale University in 1999. She received her B.A. in Psychology in 1985 from McGill University in Montreal, and her Ph.D in Cognitive Science in 1990 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona from 1990- 1999. Karen Wynn has received the National Academy of Sciences Troland Research Award, the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology, and a James McKeen Cattell Foundation Sabbatical Award. She is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science.

Melanie Killen is a Professor of Human Development and a Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Prof. Killen's research interests are children's and adolescents' social and moral reasoning, peer relationships, inclusion and exclusion, intergroup relationships and attitudes, discrimination, prejudice, gender roles in the family, and how diversity in social experiences is related to reasoning about exclusion and intergroup bias. She has also served as a consultant for a federal initiative on interventions designed to reduce prejudice and to promote inclusion in U.S. elementary schools. Professor Killen joined the Department of Human Development of the University of Maryland in 1999. She received her B.A. in Psychology in 1978 from Clark University in Massachusetts and her M.A. in Developmental Psychology in 1981 from the University of California in Berkeley.  She received her PhD in Developmental Psychology in 1985 from the University of California in Berkeley.
