L’Association des sciences administratives du Canada (ASAC)
le 9-12 juin 2012, Saint-Jean, Terre-Neuve, CANADA
Toutes les contributions doivent être soumises au plus tard le 8 février 2012
Le lieu du congrès, Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, a une histoire riche marquée par l'exploration. Il n'est pas surprenant que Terre-Neuve (comme son nom l'indique) a été parmi les premiers endroits à être visitée par les explorateurs européens il y a 500 ans ainsi que les Vikings vers l'an 1000. Le thème de notre congrès, Explorer le nouveau monde du travail, s'appuie sur notre patrimoine de l'exploration. Il est propice étant donné les caractéristiques démographiques, technologiques, éthiques, les variations interculturelles et juridiques survenant dans les organisations modernes. Nous vous invitons à nous rejoindre à Saint-Jean afin de dialoguer, débattre et réfléchir au sujet du nouveau monde du travail avec vos collègues dans un milieu stimulant et agréable. Nous sommes confiants que la beauté naturelle de la ville et son riche patrimoine culturel offriront une ambiance vibrant pour ce congrès.

CALL FOR PAPERS - September 2012 (Volume 44 No 3)
|
There is increasing recognition that health is conditioned by a range of sociopolitical, environmental, and physiological influences that are intertwined with gender and sex. These intersecting influences contribute to different expressions of health and illness between women and men and also create health inequalities within groups of women or men. Furthermore, there remains occasional blurring of definitional boundaries for the gender/sex dichotomy and, in addition, there are few models that address the simultaneous interplay of both gender and sex in health outcomes. Recently, with the proliferation of women's health clinics and programs, attention has turned to men's health (and research on masculinities). These are matters of great importance to nurses as they confront health disparities across the spectrum of practice and research. For this issue of CJNR we invite discussion of current issues in gender, sex, and health. We welcome reports of completed research integrative literature reviews, and metasyntheses with clear research or clinical implications, as well as essays on conceptual and/or methodological issues/developments/controversies in the field. We are open to contributions on a broad range of topics in this area; examples include gender-based care for a specific chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis); gender issues in health promotion/care for marginalized communities (e.g., newcomers, First Nations, those with low income); and relevant theoretical advances on which to base nursing research and programs.

The 4th Conference on Recent Advances in the Prevention and Management of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity
October 24th- 26th, 2012
The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites
Halifax, Nova Scotia
This conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of professionals and policy makers working in the field of childhood and adolescent obesity. The 4th conference will focus on strategies and solutions - from practice to policy. This theme recognizes that obesity is a complex problem requiring a complex solution-oriented approach to its prevention and management. Specifically, the conference will showcase examples of the best and promising practice across Canada, and across multiple settings. From provincial level policies to school and community level interventions, and through practice-based management programs targeting multiple behaviours that are associated with obesity, the conference seeks to promote a solution-oriented approach to obesity prevention and management. The conference aims to:
- examine how to engage multiple stakeholders in interventions for the prevention and management of childhood and adolescent obesity
- highlight policy, solution-oriented approaches and promising practice for childhood and adolescent obesity prevention and management
- provide a forum for networking and collaboration among health professionals, educators, researchers, policy makers, trainees and other stakeholders with an interest in childhood and adolescent obesity
For further information, please visit the conference website at http://www.interprofessional.ubc.ca/Obesity/ or please contact us at ian.ipce@ubc.ca or (604) 827–3112.

CALL FOR PAPER - VOLUME 43, No. 4 DECEMBER 2011
|
Today there are 214 million people on the move worldwide and every year Canada receives more than 200,000 migrants, many of whom face a host of inequalities. In a recent report on the state of health care in Canada, the Chief Public Health Officer highlights the need for resources to address issues that have a negative impact on health, including language difficulties, insensitivity on the part of health-care personnel, lack of social support, and time constraints faced by low-income immigrant families. Nurses are in a position to provide outreach to the most isolated and marginalized residents and to work closely with communities. For this issue of CJNR we invite manuscripts on migration and health that look at equity and the provision of high-quality and comprehensive nursing services and that connect research to policy change. The submissions should be completed research reports or integrative literature reviews with research directives Guest Editor: Dr. Anita Gagnon Please submit papers online Using CJNR E-journal Press at http://cjnr.msubmit.net |

Journal of Family Social Work
NOW ACCEPTING PAPERS - Call for manuscripts for special thematic issue "Evidence-Based Social Work Practice with Older Adults and Their Families"
Special Issue on "Evidence-Based Social Work Practice with Older Adults and Their Families." With the exponential increase of the older adult population projected in the near future, greater knowledge on how best to serve older adults and their family members is clearly needed. Furthermore, a significant need exists for professionals to be equipped with particular skills to work with this population. Although social workers are aware of future demographic predictions and the attendant challenges and opportunities, social work students seem reluctant to specialize in working with older adults. The goal of the journal's special edition is to address both needs.
We call for papers that:
- Contain empirical data on family-focused interventions with older persons and their family.
- Evaluate teaching methodologies for family-focused interventions with older persons.

2011 RDC CONFERENCE "Coming of Age: The Policy Impact of an Aging Population"
Sutton Place Hotel, Edmonton, Alberta
Pre-conference workshops : October 3, 2011
Conference: October 4-5, 2011
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Research Data Centre at the University of Alberta invites researchers from any discipline to present their research findings at the Canadian Research Data Centre Network's ninth annual conference on the theme Coming of Age: The Policy Impact of an Aging Population. Proposals for oral presentations, symposia or posters on any issues related to aging, older adults or intergenerational relationships are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to: social, economic, mental or physical health and well-being; employment; older workers; retirement planning and retirement transitions; family and social networks; grandparenting; special populations such as aboriginal and immigrant seniors; healthy aging; aging well/well-being in later life; aging with mental illness; public health implications of population aging; caregiving; built environments for an aging population; driving and other transportation needs; age-friendly communities. All presentations should address the policy and/or practice implications of the findings.
Preference will be given to papers based on RDC data and research focusing on issues of concern to Canadian decision makers and practitioners, but other empirical or synthesis papers are welcome. While papers need to meet high disciplinary standards, the presentations must be understandable to those outside the presenters' discipline(s) and to decision makers outside of academia. Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts, and to take advantage of pre-conference training activities.
Abstracts should specify the type of presentation being proposed (oral presentation, symposium or poster) and include the title, author’(s’) name(s) and affiliaton(s), contact information (mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address) for the presenting author, and 300 to 500 words describing the presentation’s objectives, rationale, methodology, preliminary findings and policy and/or practice implications.
Proposals for symposia should submitted as a package that includes name(s) and contact information for the proposer(s), a brief description (approximately 200 words) of the overall objectives of the symposium and abstracts (see above) for each of 3 to 4 papers to be presented. Symposium organizers are encouraged to identify a moderator and/or discussant for their symposium.
Abstracts should be submitted electronically to Dr. Janet Fast at rdcconf@library.ualberta.ca by April 30, 2011. Authors will be notified about the selection of papers by May 30, 2011.
Questions should be directed to Dianne Kieren, Conference Co-ordinator, at rdcconf@library.ualberta.ca.
