Introduction to the special issue
The current issue of Theory & Psychology is devoted to Stanley Milgram and his contribution to the study of obedience. It presents a decidedly critical evaluation of these well-known experiments that challenges their relevance to our understanding of events such as the Holocaust.

Gender, ethnicity, and career trajectories
Woodward (2010) argued that Maria Rickers-Ovsiankina, Eugenia Hanfmann, and Tamara Dembo constituted a group of Jewish emigré psychologists who received substantial help in America from a "Jewish network" of patronage.

This anniversary affords us the opportunity to examine when, where, why, and how SPSSI has been more and le…

Throughout her career, Jahoda promoted a nonreductionistic, problem‐focused sociological social psychology that was profoundly influenced by her early interdisciplinary training and by subsequent collaborations …
Defining difference

This paper attempts to establish the historical context for the development and publication of Gordon Allport's text, The Nature of Prejudice, and by so doing illustrate the importance of historicizing psychological social psychology.

This paper chronicles ke…
