However, we believe this is not perfect to accommodate hundreds of colleagues from Brazil to Japan, and Australia to Canada. PLEASE NOTE all times are GMT+1 British Summer Time (BST). MS Teams will normally show the times according to your computers local time. Our all-women keynote speakers line up this year features Nissa Finney, Jelena Dzankic, Martina Cvajner, Elli Heikkila, Agnes Igoye, and Helén Nilsson. Although the main language of the conference is English, this year we will have linguistic diversity as usual and there will also be some sessions in Spanish and Turkish. We thank all participants, invited speakers and conference committees for their efforts and contribution. We are particularly grateful to hundreds of colleagues who served as reviewers and helped the selection process.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the History of Psychology Global Perspectives written by David B. Baker and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science and practice of psychology has evolved around the world on different trajectories and timelines, yet with a convergence on the recognition of the need for a human science that can confront the challenges facing the world today. Few would argue that the standard narrative of the history of psychology has emphasized European and American traditions over others, but in today's global culture, there is a greater need in psychology for international understanding. This volume describes the historical development of psychology in countries throughout the world. Contributors provide narratives that examine the political and socioeconomic forces that have shaped their nations' psychologies. Each unique story adds another element to our understanding of the history of psychology. The chapters in this volume remind us that there are unique contexts and circumstances that influence the ways in which the science and practice of psychology are assimilated into our daily lives. Making these contexts and circumstances explicit through historical research and writing provides some promise of greater international insight, as well as a better understanding of the human condition.
Download or read book Envejecimiento y sociedad written by Joaquín Giró and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es una introducción para la comprensión de la realidad de las personas mayores, integrando lo social, lo psicológico y lo físico desde tres perspectivas diferentes, pero complementarias, que podríamos resumir como percepciones, vivencias y alternativas sobre el proceso de envejecimiento. De este modo, entendemos: 1. Las percepciones sociales sobre la vejez, o cómo la sociedad percibe y valora diferentes aspectos significativos sobre las personas mayores, comenzando por la propia vejez y descendiendo a aspectos más concretos como la actividad-inactividad, la sexualidad, el papel de la familia, los servicios sociales y un largo etcétera de temas que no sólo nos permiten comprender mejor el entorno social, político y económico que rodea al proceso de envejecimiento, sino que condiciona también la propia autopercepción de los mayores. 2. La vivencia de la vejez, o la forma en que las personas mayores enfrentan su situación social, económica y personal. Los aspectos que condicionan sus actitudes, las estrategias vitales que desarrollan o la falta de ellas, manifestadas, nuevamente, a través de las múltiples dimensiones que les afectan: utilización del tiempo, relaciones personales, adecuación al entorno, etc. 3. Salud y bienestar en la vejez, es decir, una visión sobre los recursos internos y externos con que cuentan las personas mayores para enfrentar su vida de forma plena: los cuidados físicos, los recursos sociosanitarios, el desarrollo de actitudes positivas hacia sí mismos y hacia su entorno, los posibles cambios sociales orientados a mejorar el entorno y el lugar de los mayores en nuestra sociedad. Son numerosas las cuestiones que atraviesan el fenómeno del envejecimiento, como lo son también los enfoques desde los que pueden analizarse. En las páginas que siguen, se habla del significado de la vejez, de las formas de convivencia, soledad y relaciones sociales en la vejez, de la promoción de la salud y la prevención de la enfermedad en los ancianos, de las habilidades de comunicación con las personas mayores, de la relación existente entre actividad física y deportiva de los mayores, de una de las patologías de mayor prevalencia en la actualidad, el Alzheimer, y, por último, de la relación entre enfermedad terminal y vejez y de los cuidados al final de la vida.
Download or read book Socioecological Transitions and Global Change written by Marina Fischer-Kowalski and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In an important contribution to sustainability science, Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl extend the frontiers of contemporary socio-ecological research to articulate a theory of material, energy and land-use transitions across multiple scales based on detailed empirical studies in Europe and Asia. The insights it presents on agrarian-industrial transitions are crucial to understand the potential impact of emerging nations like India and China on global change.' - Aromar Revi, India China Institute, The New School University, US 'This volume represents the culmination of several years of empirical research and refinement of the social metabolism approach. That approach is one of the most exciting and illuminating innovations in the fields of human ecology, industrial ecology, and environmental history. Here the team from Vienna's Institute of Social Ecology shows masterfully how the insights of social metabolism shed light on transitions to high-energy society in Austria, in Britain, and in the world at large.' - J.R. McNeill, Georgetown University, US This significant new book analyses fundamental changes in society-nature interaction: the socioeconomic use of materials, energy and land. The volume presents a number of case studies addressing transitions from an agrarian to an industrial socioecological regime, analysed within the materials and energy flow accounting (MEFA) framework. It is argued that by concentrating on the biophysical dimensions of change in the course of industrialization, social development issues can be explicitly linked to changes in the natural environment. From the historical transition in Europe, to current transitions in developing countries, the book offers a broad and comprehensive analysis of transition processes across scales, from local to national. The comparison of historical and current assessments allows a theory of the underlying patterns of the agrarian-industrial transition to emerge. On this basis, future trends and possible pathways towards (or indeed further departures from) sustainability are discussed. Empirical in character and cautious in its assumptions, this insightful book provides rich and in-depth material for further studies in socioecological research. It will be essential reading for students and researchers of ecological economics, industrial ecology, human ecology, environmental sociology, environmental history, geography as well as land, energy and development studies.
