Subject: INFO: Invitation from the Society for Study of Human Development
Dear Friends of Life-span Developmental Science,
I am writing to invite you to join The Society for the Study of Human Development. As you may know, SSHD is the only organization in the U.S. devoted to fostering research in human development across the life span. Several of our Past Presidents and Steering Committee members have been Presidents of Division 20.
Our biennial meetings – in Nov 2013 we expect to be on the ocean in Fort Lauderdale, FL -- and our listserv provide forums 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 now available to members fully online.
Membership in the society affords opportunities to both senior and young scholars to interact with others from a wide range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, family studies, biology, economics, cultural studies, and history. To facilitate communication among members, SSHD is proud to announce the launching of interactive webinars that will connect members with leaders in the field to engage in rich discussions of theory and innovative methodologies, and to provide opportunities for members to enhance their professional networks. We also have an Emerging Scholars program to promote the careers of young scholars and ensure interaction across experience levels.
Our regular memberships are now only $75 per year and our three-year memberships are only $225. Student memberships are still only $40 per year. All members receive online access to the journal and, of course, a reduced rate at our 2013 conference..
To find out more about the Society and to join, log on to our NEW web site: http://www.sshdonline.org.
We hope you will join us forming a broad community of scholars concerned with developmental issues across the life span.
Cordially,
Bill
