I just saw your reposting re communication with Eastern Europe, in
which you said you are actively seeking scholars from that area for the
PSYCOLOQUY editorial board. Communication channels to other areas, such
as Latin America, are also opening up in the last few months and will
continue to do so in the future. Perhaps you would like to include
people from that area of the world on the editorial board as well.

Also, people in Latin American may very well be interested in
subscribing to PSYCOLOQUY. I coordinate a list for psychologists
throughout the Americas (IAPSY-L@ALBNYVM1) as part of SIPNET
(associated with the Sociedad Interamerican de Psicologia, the
Interamerican Psychological Society). Perhaps you would like to send a
message to our list describing PSYCOLOQUY and inviting participation
from its subscribers. Also, if you are interested in recruiting people
for the editorial board, I would be happy to help identify appropriate
individuals. Related to this, I will be attending the Interamerican
Congress of Psychology in Costa Rica, beginning on July 7th, where I
will be chairing a roundtable on electronic networks and their
relevance for psychologists in the Americas. Perhaps you would like to
send me something I could print and hand out about PSYCOLOQUY. Also, it
would be an opportunity to assess interest in the editorial board.


I look forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good work.

Bernardo, thanks for your message. I most certainly wish to take
advantage of the improving network connections with Latin America as
well. I will send more information about PSYCOLOQUY (for your list and
for your conference) by email. Candidates for the Editorial Board
should send me their CVs at the following address:

Stevan Harnad
Editor, PSYCOLOQUY
Department of Psychology
Princeton University
Princeton NJ 08544

In particular, I hope you will send me your own CV. It would be very
helpful if you could serve as a mediator in establishing a strong
representation of Latin American biobehavioral scientists on the
PSYCOLOQUY Editorial Board.

Best wishes, Stevan Harnad
