Growing Up and Growing Older Across Societies: Harnessing the Power of Comparative Life Course Research Workshop

项目摘要 学者们早就明白，尽管有一些共同的特征，但许多关键方面如何 人类的成长和变老对一个人的政治、社会、文化和经济都是微不足道的 背景。现在，在大规模队列研究中所做的重大投资已经取得成果 与其他社会的队列研究或同一社会以前的队列研究相协调。 为向公众提供和获取这些数据所作的共同努力已经产生了大量 文档、新的分析方法和在线工具。然而，尽管有明显的潜力， 比较研究推动科学前进，比较研究实际实施 研究设计仍处于早期阶段。比较研究面临的独特挑战可能会阻碍 生产力。我们建议举办一个比较生活历程研究研讨会，以解决 比较研究中的独特挑战，由这些队列的高级调查人员提出 研究(HRS兄弟研究、NLSY、PSID兄弟研究)和出版的样本 初级学者的研究。这一建议的创新之处包括安排研讨会 就在第一次美国纵向和生命历程学会会议之前 研究，利用研讨会参与者的额外好处，包括：免除注册 SLLS会议，为期一年的在线方法研讨会，以及专门的研讨会 在国际会议上展示他们自己的研究成果。R13拨款的具体目标 是：(1)召集国家专家进行大规模的队列研究和比较生活历程 研究，提供关于该领域前沿趋势的研讨会。[承诺书 包括在提案中](2)通过以下方式增加比较生命历程研究的多样性 通过旅游奖励，促进和协助URM团体的学者参加。(3)建设 支持初级学者的人生历程和纵向学术研究流水线 进行比较生命历程研究。凯斯西储在中国享有盛誉 通过奖学金、助学金和培训，在老龄化和生命进程领域，使其成为 研讨会的理想地点，与SLLS会议之后立即在同一 会场。联合调查组由不同的人组成(资历、种族/民族、性别) 一组年龄和人生历程的学者。一个单独的早期职业和学生倡议委员会 (由两名联合代表担任主席)由来自以下国家背景的初级学者组成 科学。调查人员和委员会将积极招募代表不足的少数族裔 研究人员来到车间。会议计划概述了这些努力以及以下方面的资源 家庭关怀和适合家庭的方案。

Project Summary Scholars have long understood that despite some common features, many key aspects of how humans grow up and grow older are particulate to one's political, social, cultural, and economic context. Major investments made in large-scale cohort studies have come to fruition, now harmonized with cohort studies in other societies or previous cohorts of the same society. Concerted efforts to make these data publicly available and accessible have produced substantial documentation, new analytic approaches, and online tools. Yet despite the obvious potentials of comparative research to move science forward, the actual implementation of comparative research designs is still at an early stage. Unique challenges to comparative research may hinder productivity. We propose a workshop on Comparative Life Course Research to address the unique challenges in comparative research, presented by senior investigators of those cohort studies (HRS+sibling studies, NLSY, PSID+sibling studies) and featuring exemplar published studies from junior scholars. Innovations of this proposal include scheduling the workshop immediately prior the first US-based meeting of the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, leveraging additional benefits for workshop attendees including: waived registration for the SLLS meeting, one-year access to online methodological workshops, and dedicated symposia to present their own research at the international conference. The specific aims of the R13 grant are: (1) Assemble national experts in large-scale cohort studies and comparative life course research to provide a workshop on the cutting-edge trends in the field. [Commitment letters included in the proposal] (2) Increase the diversity in comparative life course research by facilitating and assisting scholars from URM groups to attend through travel awards. (3) Build the research pipeline in life course and longitudinal scholarship by supporting junior scholars conducting comparative life course research. Case Western Reserve has a strong reputation in the areas of aging and life course through scholarship, grant funding, and training, making it an ideal location for the workshop, with the SLLS meeting following immediately at the same venue. The Co-Investigative team is composed of a diverse (seniority, race/ethnicity, gender) set of age and life course scholars. A separate Early Career and Student Initiatives Committee (co-chaired by two Co-Is) is composed of junior scholars from underrepresented backgrounds in science. Investigators and the committee will be active in recruiting underrepresented minority researchers to the workshop. The Conference Plan outlines these efforts, as well as resources for family care and family-friendly programming.
