The 2014 Edith Dominian Memorial
Lecture
Policy and Practice Implications
Seminar
OnePlusOne’s
Edith
Dominian
Memorial lecture, held biennially,
serves as a platform to present
innovative research to academics,
researchers,
policy
makers,
practitioners, opinion formers and the
media to stimulate conversations and
new ways of thinking about family
relationships and how to support
them in modern society.
Organised by OnePlusOne and the
Cohorts and Longitudinal Studies
Enhanced Resources Programme
(CLOSER), and hosted by the Nuffield
Foundation, this follow-up event will
explore the policy, practice and
research implications of the themes
and issues raised during the lecture.
There will be an opportunity to
engage in discussion through a group
or a roundtable format.
This year Professor George Vaillant, an
American Psychiatrist and Principal
Investigator of the longest longitudinal
study of human development ever
undertaken, will be our key speaker.
Professor Vaillant will be discussing
the study and his most recent book
Triumphs of Experience: The Men of
the Harvard Grant Study, covering the
value (and challenges) of longitudinal
research in understanding adult
development, the importance of
relationships to physical and mental
health and the significance of social
aptitude to successful ageing.
This lecture is being held at the British
Library Conference Centre, London,
6.30pm on June 23rd 2014.
This event is being held at the Nuffield
Foundation, London, during the
