Upcomming conference in Hull, England

Posted on April 5, 2011 by jkineman

I want to alert readers to the annual meeting of the ISSS that will take place in Hull, England from July 17-22. http://isss.org/world/2011_Hull_UK

At this meeting we are planning a workshop and papers on Rosen’s Relational Theory and recent work completed for a theoretical synthesis. This will be somewhat technical, but very foundational to relational thinking in every field. I will begin posting topics of that workshop as they are developed to begin a pre-conference discussion
