Intercontinental Toronto Centre Hotel, Canada
Please join us
for a memorable night of dinner and (counter)storytelling on
Friday, October 11th from 7-9.
The cost is $55USD. Please
register here for
this wonderful event.
This will be a great opportunity to
connect with old and new friends. We'll enjoy a plated
dinner at the hotel followed by an evening of
(counter)storytelling. We will learn about each other and
deepen our shared interests in emerging adulthood through
counternarratives from emerging adults who have found
themselves too often cast to the margins of the field and
wider society.
For those interested in sharing their
(counter)stories, we welcome your submissions.
How do I submit a story?
1. Consider your unique experiences as an emerging adult,
what stereotype(s) you faced, and the ways in which you
resisted, persisted, thrived, etc.? In contrast to the story
that others and/or society told about you, consider and tell
your own story about yourself, your experiences, your
family, culture, etc.
2. Write a brief summary (3-4 sentences) that states the
beginning, middle, and end of your story.
3. Tell us what makes your story a counter-story in 1-3
sentences.
4. Email that summary to
coordinator@ssea.org prior to the deadline.
Deadline
The deadline for submitting a story is October
1st, 2019. Those whose stories are selected
for the show will be notified prior to the conference and
receive support before the show.
Other Important Information and Tips
1. Stories are true and personal. If stories are not true to
your experience or yours to tell, it's not the type of story
that fits this call for storytellers.
2. The event will present oral stories, which are not the
same as a written story, TED talk, or stand-up routine.
3. The storytelling event will be recorded (video and
audio). After the event, storytellers who provide permission
will have videos of their stories shared on the SSEA
website.
4. You can see examples of past storytelling events here:

Master Lectures
Margarita Azmitia, Emerging adults’ understanding of
their intersecting identities: Theoretical, developmental,
and methodological issues
Margarita Azmitia, an immigrant from Guatemala, is a
professor of developmental psychology at the University of
California at Santa Cruz and serves as the UCSC coordinator
of the UC Consortium on Adolescence Science and as a
member-at-large on the leadership of SRCD’s Latino Caucus.
Her mixed-methods, interdisciplinary research program
focuses on the role of close relationships, identity
intersectionalities (gender, sexuality, ethnicity/race, and
social class), and lived experiences of prejudice and
discrimination in adolescents and emerging adults’ school
transitions, academic and career trajectories, and
well-being.
Gail Ferguson, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of
Cultural Globalization For 21st Century Emerging Adults (And
What Developmental Science Can Do About It)
Dr. Gail M. Ferguson is currently a faculty member in the
Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and will be
transitioning to the Institute of Child Development at the
University of Minnesota for Fall, 2019. Dr. Ferguson’s
research focuses on modern forms of cultural transmission
among adolescents and emerging adults facilitated by 21st
Century globalization (e.g., media, information and
communication technologies, consumer goods, and migration).
Among other interests, she has pioneered theory, research,
and intervention programming on “remote acculturation” a
modern form of acculturation among non-migrants exposed to
distant cultures via globalization (e.g., the
“Americanization” of youth in the Global South); and more
recently, “remote enculturation”, a modern form of
enculturation among youth living outside of the country of
their family’s heritage who connect to that culture
indirectly via globalization (e.g., 2nd generation immigrant
youth; international adoptees). A major aim of Dr.
Ferguson’s research is to identify and target risk and
protective factors in prevention programs that promote the
positive development of youth and families in and from the
globalizing Majority World (i.e., developing countries).

** Developing Preregistration Plans for Research on Emerging Adulthood (8-12pm)
Preregistration involves specifying your design and analysis
plan prior to conducting any data analysis, which helps make
clearer distinctions between preplanned analyses and exploratory
analyses. In this workshop we will discuss the background and
rationale for preregistering your studies, and will discuss how
preregistration can be used in longitudinal, qualitative, and
mixed methods studies, which pose several challenges to
traditional models of preregistration developed in the context
of experimental work. The workshop will consist of a mix of
lectures and activities, and by the end of the session they will
be prepared to write preregistration plans for their own
research.
Members receive a reduced rate on conference fees.
