Symposium to explore the science of
intimate relationships
Victoria University will host
six of the world’s top relationship psychology researchers
for a one-day symposium in October.
The Symposium on
‘The Science of Intimate Relationships’ is being
organised by Professor Garth Fletcher from Victoria’s
School of Psychology, whose book of the same name has
recently been published.
The symposium features six
renowned American professors: Sarah Hrdy, Jeffry Simpson,
Bruce Ellis, Lisa Diamond, Arthur Aron and Thomas
Bradbury.
Professor Fletcher says the symposium is a
unique opportunity for researchers, students, health
professionals and clinicians, who will be able to hear from
some of the world’s top intimate relationship
academics.
“We have a stellar line up which promises
to provide a fascinating and provocative interdisciplinary
perspective. The presentations have been designed to focus
on cutting-edge research into a wide range of topics
including love, attachment, the relationship brain,
sexuality, development, the role of evolution and health,”
says Professor Fletcher.
Registrations to attend the
symposium are now open.
