Early Origins of Male Violence
Santa Fe Community Convention Center
May 1-3, 2019 Santa Fe, NM
The Santa Fe Boys Educational Foundation invites proposals for discussion of issues in symposia and workshops relevant to the theme/title of the conference: Early Origins of Male Violence. The main focus of the conference is the exploration of the roots of males being at greater risk for experiencing causal factors early in life (prenatal, infant, and toddler periods) that are associated with acts of violence later in life—rape, robbery, murder, and assault.
The following information is provided to assist in preparing proposals for presentations. For further information or questions, please contact info@santafeboys.org.
Submission Types (All submissions are peer reviewed.)
Symposium. A symposium combines no more than two or three presentations grouped around a common sub-theme or closely related topics. Symposia are scheduled for 50 minutes. Symposia presenters are scheduled for a maximum of 30 minutes. Each symposium presenter will be allotted an equal portion of time, with the remainder of time set aside for active discussion with the audience.
Workshop. Workshops are designed for one or several presenters from the same institution or project team who plan to share information about a particular body of knowledge, evidence-based practice, engaged teaching techniques, assessment or research instrument, or methodology, or successful program intervention. Active discussion between audience and presenter(s) should take place throughout the session. Workshops will be scheduled for 50 minutes.
