Abstract
Dialogue is central for learning as an engagement with the world, and in this process dialogue with the world of material artifacts and digital machines is nothing unusual. With ChatGPT and similar devices, however, dialogue in the act of learning takes on a new quality. It is not only who the learners are talking to and the form of the digital response that is new, but also the mode of conversation. How does ChatGPT transform learning dialogues? How to understand the responses the machine offers and how are they generated? They seem to be meaningful narratives, but aren’t they just worldless generated strings of words? Based on an embodied, subject- and world-centered conception of learning, the paper explores the specific nature of dialogue with ChatGPT and its possibilities and limitations for learning as a worlding practice.

| Other | A call for engaged theorising has a long history, however it seems as timely and needed today as ever, particularly in psychology. Theory is an inevitable tool for engaging in the world and contributing to individuals and communities in navigating complex environments and potential futures. The beauty of theorising is that it transcends national, historical, social, and linguistic barriers while simultaneously serving as a tool for their critical examination, provided that it is respectful, honest, transparent, dialogical, and reflexive.<br/><br/>We welcome scholars from around the world and belonging to different theoretical and critical traditions in psychology and beyond to join us in presence for the 20th ISTP conference, which will take place at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, May 20–24, 2024 — our first in-person meeting since Copenhagen in 2019!<br/><br/>We invite communication and discussion that bring back to the fore the vital, engaged, dialogical nature of the exercise of theorising as well as its historical, institutional, ethical, or societal implications. |
