APA News in its field. Editor Margaret BullKovera, PhD, also of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, hopes to increase its impact in psychology. “The journal will benefit from being under the umbrella of the premier publisher of psychological scholarship, inclusion in the PsycARTICLES database, and from the impressive marketing that APA does for its journals,” she says. Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology (official journal of APA Division 48) publishes scholarly manuscripts on peace, conflict, and their interaction at all levels of analysis, from interpersonal to community, regional, and international issues. Editor Susan Opotow, PhD, of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, says the journal’s focus on emerging issues in the field attracts researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and educators. “We are pleased that the journal will be situated within psychology as it is relevant to just about all psychological subdisciplines,” she says. Psychology of Popular Media Culture will debut next spring. Its editor, James C. Kaufman, PhD, of California State University at San Bernardino, hopes the journal will “bring people together to learn [about psychology] they wouldn’t normally have connected with.” Reaching out to a number of disciplines, the journal will cover a range of social media, technology and popular culture topics. “A lot of creative research doesn’t have an obvious publishing venue. One of our goals with the journal is to provide a home for popular media and pop culture research,” Kaufman says. n Division sPotlIght Div. 1 Seeks Nominations for 2012 honors Div. 1 (Society for General Psychology) seeks nominations for its awards for 2012: • the William James Book Award honors a recent book that best serves to further the goals of the division by providing outstanding examples of the effort to bring together diverse subfields of psychology and related disciplines. • the Ernest R. hilgard Award for a career contribution to general psychology recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the division’s ideals and mission. • the George A.
