SRCD Joins International Union of Psychological Sciences
SRCD has been accepted as an affiliate of the International Union of Psychological Science. This is an important accomplishment for SRCD as it strives to become more international. SRCD is one of just a handful of organizations to be connected with this international organization whose members are nation states. It gives SRCD access to an international arena in a way that permits the organization to bring a developmental perspective which is often missed in cross national conversations in the behavioral and social sciences. SRCD was officially sworn in as an Affiliate Member at the meeting in Australia last month. GC member Oscar Barbarin represented SRCD.
