Call for Conference Papers: Influence of Early Life Events on Later-Life Outcomes
There is recent and growing evidence that events very early in life have large and lasting impacts on economic, social, psychological, and health outcomes later in life. The National Poverty Center (NPC) is sponsoring the second in a series of conferences on this topic, to be held in Ann Arbor March 12-13, 2009. Description of the first conference which was held in December 2007, including the agenda and the papers presented, are available at the NPC web site: http://www.npc.umich.edu/news/events/early_life/
If you are interested in presenting a paper at this interdisciplinary conference, please submit by August 1, 2008, four copies of a 3-4 page abstract and your CV to the National Poverty Center, University of Michigan, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Weill Hall, 735 South State St., Ann Arbor, MI 48109. The abstracts will be reviewed by the conference organizers, and the most promising papers will be chosen to be presented at the conference. Travel, lodging and meal expenses for one author per selected paper will be provided by the NPC.
