Society for the Study of Human Development
The Society for the Study of Human Development (SSHD) is seeking to add new members and we invite you to consider joining this groundbreaking organization. SSHD is the only organization in the U. S. devoted exclusively to fostering research in human development across the life span. The Society was initiated in 1998 by a group of eminent scholars in the field who recognized the importance of creating a forum for life span researchers. We have had four successful biennial meetings and planning is under way for a fifth exciting conference, to be held Oct. 18-20 at Pennsylvania State University. The conference theme, Crossing Boundaries, reflects our organizational mission to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas across boundaries of age and discipline as we continue to promote scholarly work at the vanguard of the study of human development. Our journal, Research in Human Development, is at the cutting edge of the field and is available to members fully on-line. Our on-line newsletter, The Networker, keeps members up-to-date on job opportunities, Society activities, and new developments in the field.

Best regards, The SSHD Steering Committee
