Subject:Human Sciences Perspectives Workshop and Public Lecture on "Memory"

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce an open workshop and an open public lecture to be
held at Macquarie University on the 28th and 29th of November 2012, as part
of the *Human Sciences Perspectives series on “Memory”*. Registration is
free, but places are strictly limited so register early to avoid missing
out.  Registrations are separate for the Workshop and the Public Lecture
(see details below).



*WORKSHOP (28th and 29th November)*

The theme of this workshop is *"Scaffolding Memory Across the
Lifespan",*and will include presentations from researchers in
Cognitive Science,
Psychology, and Education. In addition to the local speakers, three
international keynote speakers have also been confirmed: Suparna
Rajaram<http://www.psychology.sunysb.edu/srajaram-/>(Stony Brook),
Elaine
Reese <http://www.otago.ac.nz/psychology/staff/elainereese.html> (Otago)

Topics will include scaffolding and memory development in children, shared
