    Conference Description

    The SPSSI Biennial Conference will be held in New Orleans form June 24-27, 2010 at the Intercontinental Hotel. New Orleans is an exciting and historic city known around the world for its musical innovation and rich cultural heritage. In recent years it has become a much-watched center of urban investment and community renewal following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. In many ways, the post-Katrina saga of New Orleans includes a microcosm of SPSSI issues from caregiving to receiving care to theory and research on a wide range of related social justice issues. We have lined up a number of outstanding scholars to present their ground breaking research on various aspects of the conference theme.  In addition, the program will include symposia, interactive discussions, 15-minute presentations, and poster presentations. This year offers an exciting new pre-conference workshop brought to you by the SPSSI Early Careers Committee.
