European Association for Research on Adolescence (EARA)
17th EARA conference
September 2-5, 2020 - Porto, Portugal
The overall theme of the conference is Adolescence in a rapidly changing world capturing the contemporaneous accelerated pace and global impact of change in adolescents’ lives.
By this theme , the organizing committee wants to address how changes in broader systems (i.e., globalization, immigration policies, climate and demographic changes, gender/work roles, technology) impact on adolescents’ developmental tasks and trajectories, as well as how adolescents, and the microsystems in which they are embedded (families, schools, peers, communities, …), act as agents for social and developmental transformation.
The conference aims to bridge approaches, advancing on the interdisciplinary and translational study of adolescence, and welcomes researchers and practitioners from different disciplines and around the world.
