Congratulations to EPE student Baron G. Wolf for his accepted research poster to the Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference for Research on Children at Risk: Diverse Perspectives on Vulnerability in Childhood and Adolescence. Baron’s poster titled “Beyond the Protected Class: An Analysis of School Bullying Legislation and Policy, A Case for Inclusion in Policy Formation” was created based on research he conducted in EPE 603: Educational Policy Analysis with Dr. Neal Hutchens.
About the Conference: The first annual Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference for Research on Children at Risk will convene at the University of Kentucky in Lexington on April 14th and 15th, 2011. The theme for this conference is diverse perspectives (e.g. biological, psychological, or sociological, etc) on vulnerability in childhood and adolescence. Researchers in a variety of disciplines have identified childhood events and conditions that affect the risk of experiencing adverse outcomes in youth or adulthood. This conference is broad in scope, addressing a range of risk and protective factors that shape children’s current or future health and development. We welcome research on substance abuse, cognitive and educational outcomes, physical and mental health, social inequalities, peer and family interactions, as well as other topics. Ideally, this interdisciplinary conference will offer research that is comprehensible and interesting to a wide scientific audience.
