Conference Schedule
Our Toronto 2024 conference starts Friday, May 31, at 9:30 and wraps up Sunday, June 2, at 6:30. The complete schedule with individual presentations times will be published soon. 
The Inclusive Classroom
Congrats to Melanie Killen for an excellent article featured in the most recent issue of Scientific American (May 1, 2024). The Inclusive Classroom details her scholarly journey through the realm of moral development research and current explorations of how schools that create inclusive environments impact students’ development, and classroom climate and dynamics. Such inclusive programs have the “potential to better equip future generations to stand up to injustice”. Dr. Killen, a long-time member of JPS, is a professor of human development at the University of Maryland.
Hotel and Conference Registration
The proposal review process is underway and registration is open for both the hotel and conference (see the conference page on this website for links to registration). Although some will be waiting to hear the outcome of the reviews before registering, be aware that we’re expecting the hotel to book quickly. We secured an excellent room rate — CAN$239 — so register soon to insure availability.
Proposal deadline approaching
Hopefully everyone is or soon will be up for air after the usual end-of-term crush, and turning thoughts to our time together this summer in Toronto. The deadline for proposal submissions is January 15. The conference theme is “Beyond Dualism: Embodiment Perspectives on Development”, but we welcome all proposals addressing development.
