Co-investigators of The UBC Child and Family Project are involved in a number of exciting activities.  Each is of interest to a diverse range of people who wish to participate in the dynamic learning that focuses on children and families.  Three current 2001-2002 initiatives are (1) the editing and publication of an anthology of papers that originated from the 2000-2001 the Green College lecture series "Multiple Lenses, Multiple Images: Perspectives on the Child Across Time, Space and Disciplines"; (2) the development of a research proposal in conjunction with the Human Early Learning Program (HELP) and the First Call BC Coalition for Children and Youth; and (3) Child, Youth and Family Research Day, a research celebration that will be part of Research Awareness Week, March 11th to 15th, 2002.

During the first two years of our Research Development Initiative, we sought to provide forums whereby faculty, graduate students and community-based professionals could develop a discourse on interdisciplinarity around child and family issues.  One of the forums we developed was the "Another Look at Human Development" speaker series, held each week during the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 academic years.  Below is the most recent schedule of presentations that comprised the series.  The visibility that this series created for child and family research, along with our Green College series 2000-2001, serves as a springboard from which we are developing our current initiatives.  These include the Major Collaborative Research Initiative (MCRI) proposal and Child, Youth and Family Research Day.
