36th Minnesota Symposium on Child Psychology
The Origins and Organization of Adaptation and Maladaptation: A Festschrift Honoring the Work of Byron Egeland and Alan Sroufe on the Minnesota Parent-Child Longitudinal Study
October 15-17, 2009
McNamara Alumni Center, A. I. Johnson Great Room
University of Minnesota
The 2009 Symposium will serve as a celebration of the path-finding collaborative life’s work of Professors Byron Egeland and L. Alan Sroufe on the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, and will consist of a series of presentations that will speak to the powerful influence that Dr. Egeland and Dr. Sroufe have had on developmental science via both their longitudinal program of research and generative conceptualization of development. In particular, speakers will take a futuristic view of the main themes explored in this work (e.g., the role of early experience, the organizational perspective on development, attachment and relationships, the intergenerational transmission of parenting, the development of psychopathology, preventive interventions), examining how ideas developed within and promoted by the Minnesota study have broadened the boundaries of our discipline and inspired generations of developmental investigators to do the same.
