Subject: CONFERENCE announcemet
> I want to ask the group to consider participation in this year Society for
> Research in Adult Development (SRAD) conference in NYC (June 22-24). This
> year's topic is on PARENTING and I will outline some of the ideas later.
> First, some words about SRAD. It is a relatively small organization (at
> least in comparison with SRCD) with a geographical bias towards New
> England. You can find some information about the Society for Research in
> Adult development at:
> http://www.norwich.edu/srad/index.HTML

> SARA HARKNESS agreed to be an invited speaker. Her presentation will be
> entitled "CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SELF AS A PARENT." My
interest
> is to discuss at the conference variety of topics that reflect
> developmental opportunities/obstacles that parenting provides/does not
> provide in different cultures and social environments. My idea is that
> parenting, culture, social life, personal development are independent
> variables that may interact in very diverse ways. For instance (don't read
> it as the main topic of the conference), how about a presentation,
"Getting
> pregnant as a way of separation from the family of origin"? My goal is to
> understand better diversity and, possibly, inner contradictions of
socially
> distributed meanings associated with parenting in different cultures.
>
> SRAD conferences are very open for discussion, so I encourage everyone who
> has interest in personal development, parenting and cross-cultural
> psychology to contribute. Again, we are looking for a broad spectrum of
> papers on how parenting (or infertility, or decision not to parent) is
> related to personal development in diverse cultures, environments, and
> situations.
>
> Though the deadline is coming (March 9), SRAD's requirements are not too
> burdensome. So there is a little time left.
