Description
Summary:Psychology students are currently weakly organized in Argentina. The reasons for that maybe found in the circumstances of the local academic life and the changing social, economicand political realities the country went through in the last decades. In the meantime, thequality of the Psychology courses is poorer than its neighbouring Latinamerican countriesand it’s even more distanced from the world centres of academic reference. Nowadays,there are two developments encouraging the reflection and action of the students about that: the COBAND Project and the National Association of Psychology Students of Argentina (ANEPSI Argentina). Besides that, a magazine is published to endorse the creation of scientific reading habits among students. However, many challenges appear on the way to a Psychology more responsible to science and society.
