What did YDP contribute to conferences?

The Youth Development Project (YDP) had a major role to play in the SRIF conference. SRIF sponsors an international conference each year with the goal of providing a forum for research and theory about identity issues. Because SRIF is closely affiliated with the Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) every other year SRIF conferences take place as part of the SRA conference. In 2002 it was in New Orleans in conjunction with SRA. Next year, 2003, SRIF's Tenth Annual Conference is being hosted by the University of British Columbia and will be held May 15 – 18, 2003 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It promises to be a great conference!

The Society has a substantial share of its administrative headquarters at FIU. The membership lists and financial accounts management is maintained by the Youth Development Project. In addition, FIU and the University of Western Ontario (UWO) jointly sponsor the Society journal, IDENTITY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THEORY AND RESEARCH.  IDENTITY is  the official journal of the society. This cutting-edge new journal is published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates and will be publishing its third volume in January 2002. The journal, which is now being abstracted or indexed in major services including PsycINFO/Psychological Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, is rapidly becoming established as a leader in the field.
