Conference on Adolescent Development
Mount Saint Mary College will present a conference on adolescence featuring a lecture by psychologist and educator David Elkind Saturday (April 10) in Hudson Hall Auditorium. The conference and lecture are open to the public.
The Mount’s Center for Adolescence Research and Development (CARD) will present the conference, “Adolescence in the 21st Century: Constants and Challenges for the Next Generation,” from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Elkind, professor emeritus of child development at Tufts University, has written extensively about adolescence and helped develop the film, Adolescent Cognition: Thinking in a New Key. In the film Elkind explores changes in adolescent thinking and the intellectual, emotional and social consequences that result from those changes.
Elkind has written 18 books, including The Hurried Child, All Grown Up and No Place to Go and Miseducation. He has appeared on many television programs including The Today Show, Twenty/Twenty and The Oprah Show. He lectures extensively around the United States and abroad; he last spoke at the Mount in 2004.
The conference schedule is as follows: 9 a.m.: registration; research presentations (on issues including academic success; adolescents and the Internet; and stress and coping): 10-11:30 a.m.; keynote lecture by Elkind: 11:30 a.m.; lunch: 12:30; panel presentations (including representatives from education, law enforcement, mental health and medicine): 1:30-2:30 p.m.; Connections and Collaborations Workshop: 2:30-3:30 p.m.; and Closing Plenary: 3:30 p.m.
The conference fee, including lunch, is $35 ($10 for students); and fee for the keynote lecture and lunch only is $15.
CARD is a clearinghouse for research initiatives covering psychological, social, cultural, educational and health issues related to adolescents and young adults. The center also assists in developing research-based programs for schools, agencies and families.
