Agency and Human Development under Conditions of Social Change
Expert Workshop
June 4 - 6, 2005, Jena, Germany
Mission Statement
Sociologists, criminologists, and psychologists from four different countries who share a unique interest in research related to agency and development in
times of social change will meet at the expert workshop on “Agency and Human Development under Conditions of Social Change”. The central aim is to
inspire exchange on a topic that – as can be seen in the work of all participating experts – profits tremendously from thoughts and analyses that cross
disciplinary borders. By promoting interdisciplinary and international dialogue on most recent developments in the field, the workshop hopes to make a
significant contribution to research on human development and social change.
Workshop Hosts
The workshop is hosted by the Center for Applied Developmental Science (CADS) and
the Collaborative Research Consortium SFB 580 on „Social Developments After
Structural Change“ at the University of Jena, Germany. The aim of the Center for
Applied Developmental Science is to produce and disseminate scientific knowledge on
human development and its application to policymakers and the public. Embedded in
the SFB 580 the associated CADS project investigates
„Individual and Social Resources for Coping with Social
Change: Development and Psychosocial Effects“
(PI Rainer K. Silbereisen) and utilizes a large-scale
longitudinal design. Please find more information online:
