SPRING CONFERENCE
Societies, Families, and Planet Earth:
Exploring the Connections was held April 18-19, 2009
This Conference was Sponsored with the
Georgetown University Department of Sociology
About the Spring Conference: Each spring the Center traditionally offers a conference devoted to a single topic which is explored in depth by a number of presenters. The subject of the meeting may be a concept of Bowen theory or an application of theory. DVD recordings of previous Spring Conferences are available for purchase on our website.
Conference Overview
Sponsored by the Georgetown University Department of Sociology and the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family, this two-day conference gathers together presenters from a broad spectrum of disciplines to examine how human societies organize themselves and what happens as increasing societal complexity, population density, and depletion of resources create new challenges in the relationship between the human and the Earth. Divided into four half-day panels, the conference will examine the contribution of Bowen’s concept of societal emotional process to understanding the reciprocal interrelationships among individuals, families, and societies and the deep biological link between human emotional functioning and the human’s relationship with the Earth.
