Who is it for?

Disciplines involved are Psychology, Sociology, Social Psychology, Life-span Psychology, Social Demography and Social Policy, depending on the tutors and the workshop contents. The common topic of the workshops is vulnerability across the life course.
Applications
via VIU website from November 1 to 30, 2018; admitted candidates will be notified by mid-December, 2018.
The Program will admit up to 20 student participants.
Thematic workshops:
1. Integration and vulnerability. Transition to adulthood of migrants' descendants
The literature underlines the scarcity of relations between the research tradition of migration and integration and the tradition of life course research. The objective of this workshop is to build bridges between these two research traditions by focusing on the transition to adulthood of children of migrants.

Ingrid Tucci, CNRS & Aix-Marseille University

2. Social representations of successful ageing
The workshop will provide an introduction to the social representations approach, successful ageing theories (including academic and lay perspective approaches), and also empirical studies addressing ageing well. At the end of the week, on the basis of the material developed, one or two collaborative papers will be planned, and jointly written and published after the workshop.
