Upcoming SSHD Conference

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to report that planning for our biannual meeting has begun.  Several initial decisions have been made.  The meeting will by held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the campus of the University of Michigan, October 18 thru 20th.  The theme of the meeting is:

Human Development: Earlier Influences on Later Life Outcomes.

 

A particular focus for the meeting is on the events and factors contributing to positive and negative developmental trajectories over the life course.

The 2009 biennial conference will address current knowledge and future directions of research, interventions and policy in understanding the contribution of earlier events/factors to later outcomes of human development –both positive and negative--across the life span and over the life course.  Interdisciplinary symposia proposals which address the central theme of the biennial meeting are encouraged and will be given priority. 

Proposals are encouraged in all topical areas which address the central theme. Posters will be accepted for research on this and related interdisciplinary lifespan themes.  Graduate student applications are particularly encouraged for poster presentations.

Symposia proposals and posters which offer international perspectives on the conference theme and related developmental issues are also welcome.

The website will be regularly updated with details concerning the conference, registration, and the Call for Papers.
