P-001 - Political Violence and Children: Innovations in Basic Research and Intervention in World-Wide Contexts

Session Type: Pre-Conference Event

Integrative Statement

Political violence is a burgeoning issue that has affected more than one billion children worldwide. This pre-conference seeks to provide senior and junior researchers with a new perspective on state-of-the-art translational work in conflict-affected areas.

This pre-conference is structured in two parts, beginning with a session devoted to seminal panels on the state of cutting-edge research in political violence and children, including the translation of basic research to intervention. The second portion is interactive and will allow attendees to participate in breakout groups and discuss different case studies regarding political violence and children. Junior scholars attending the pre-conference will have the opportunity to seek professional feedback on their current projects during breakout sessions designed to foster mentorships between senior researchers in the field and the selected junior researchers.

The pre-conference concludes with reflections from organizers, invited speakers, and attendees and suggestions for future directions in the field.
