Plenary Speaker: Núria Sebastián Gallés (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
CALL FOR SYMPOSIUM PROPOSALS
We are soliciting proposals for 90-minute symposia for the Boston University Conference on Language Development on any topic likely to be of broad interest to the conference attendees. The symposium format is open, but has frequently included 2-3 speakers presenting research from differing angles on a common theme.
Proposals should include a list of the participants, specific topics, and a specification of the format, and should name at least one organizer who will be able to work with the BUCLD organizing committee in setting up the symposium. Submissions can be sent by email to [email protected] with "Symposium proposal" indicated in the subject line. Please limit symposium proposals to 1000 words or fewer.
DEADLINE: April 15, 2017
Decisions on symposia will be made by June.

These days, early literacy is not only based on traditional paper picture books but also on digital media such as e-books, apps, television, or pc-games containing written or oral texts. The aim of this workshop is to exchange views on the potential and limits of (digital) media for children’s language and other forms of learning across infancy and early childhood (0 to 8).
We invite theoretical and practical approaches to early literacy and (digital) media to participate in our workshop at Paderborn University on September, 21st and 22nd, 2017 to the following domains:
· learning language with (digital) media: words, grammar, reading and writing skills, phonological und morphological awareness;
· the potential and limits of using (digital) media for all forms of learning in young children;
· predictive role of early literacy experience to later literacy and linguistic skills;
· implications for researchers, therapists, teachers, and parents.
A Preconference on Two Recent NAS Reports
Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 2-3:45 pm
Room 416 A/B, 4th Floor, Hilton Austin
This preconference will be chaired by Dr. Vivian Gadsden, William T. Carter Professor of Child Development; Professor of Education; Professor of Africana Studies; Faculty, Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies; Director, National Center on Fathers and Families at the University of Pennsylvania as well as President of the American Educational Research Association. Committee members will summarize major research themes and policy recommendations from each report, followed by a federal response designed to highlight salient issues in the recommendations, opportunities for research emanating from each report, and options for moving forward to advance implementation and evaluation. An interactive session with pre-conference participants will follow. Reactions to both reports, thoughts on their points of intersection, and input on the highest priorities for next steps in research, policy, and practice, will be invited. There is no registration fee for this preconference, but please click here to RSVP
Wednesday April 5, 2017 from 4:00pm – 7:30 pm

The program for the Zigler Policy Preconference will be from 4:00-6:30 pm.
A reception will follow from 6:30-7:30 pm.
The 2017 Zigler Policy Preconference will focus on the research on social and emotional learning and its applications, and will feature presentations by four experts addressing social and emotional learning in the context of school and culture across developmental periods, as well as implications for policy and practice. The 2017 Zigler Policy Preconference will feature presentations by: Mark Greenberg, Ph.D., Edna Peterson Bennett Endowed Chair in Prevention Research and Professor of Human Development and Psychology, Pennsylvania State University; Stephanie Jones, Ph.D., Marie and Max Kargman Associate Professor in Human Development and Urban Education Advancement, Harvard Graduate School of Education; Nancy Guerra, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Social Ecology and Professor of Psychology and Social Behavior, University of California, Irvine; and Roger Weissberg, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Education and NoVo Foundation Endowed Chair in Social and Emotional Learning, University of Illinois at Chicago.
This is the fifth Policy Preconference held at SRCD to honor Edward Zigler and link research and policy. Planning for the Zigler Policy Preconference was a joint endeavor by the SRCD Student and Early Career Council, the University-Based Child and Family Policy Consortium, and the SRCD Committee on Policy and Communications. The Zigler Policy Preconference places a strong emphasis on encouraging student and early career participation, and providing opportunities for junior and senior participants to interact. Dr. Zigler, for whom this preconference is named, is the Director Emeritus of the Edward Zigler Center in Child Development & Social Policy at Yale University. Dr. Zigler is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of Head Start, is a staunch advocate for children and families, and is a leading researcher of programs and policies designed to support children and families.
23rd – 25th August 2017
Lancaster University, UK
http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/
Abstract submission deadline: 1st March 2017
After a highly successful 1st LCICD in 2016 with attendees from 19 countries, we are now organizing the 2nd LCICD in Lancaster, UK. The conference is relatively small, single track, with high visibility poster sessions in their own designated time slots, and enabling lively interactions between all attendees, from early-career PhD students to senior researchers.
Keynote speakers:
Teresa Farroni, University of Padua, Italy
György Gergely, Central European University, Hungary
Daniel Swingley, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Requirements:
Abstracts should be no more than 300 words (excluding references) with an additional page for figures and graphs. We invite abstract submissions from all areas of infant and early child development (age range: pre-natal - 4 years). Full details for submission can be found on the conference website http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/ .
This three-day conference in August 2017 will run from Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon and will be preceded by an optional one day Methods Workshop. The conference will focus on research in infant and early child development and reflect the breadth of methods used in this field (e.g., eye tracking and pupil dilation, EEG/ERP, fNIRS, computational modeling, physiological measures, fetal imaging). We are aiming to bring together scientists engaged in cutting edge research and PhD students who are starting their scientific career, as well as to provide an opportunity for training of PhD students and junior researchers.
This conference is being organised as part of a recently awarded £1 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust to establish a Doctoral Scholarship Programme in Interdisciplinary Research on Infant Development at Lancaster University. This scheme will provide a total of 22 PhD studentships over five years (with the second cohort just having started), together with associated activities.

Policymakers, program operators, and researchers often depend on statistically significant findings to identify what works in public policy and programs. It is important, however, for both the policy and research communities to have the clearest possible understanding of what statistical significance means and when it matters.
On March 1, from 3:00– 4:30 p.m., Mathematica’s Center for Improving Research Evidence(CIRE) will convene a panel of experts to discuss this issue from the perspectives of researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and funders. The event will be held at Mathematica’s Washington, DC, conference center and via live webinar. Immediately after the forum, a networking reception will take place in Mathematica’s 12th floor lobby.
