Society for the Study of Human Development  

Definition(s)

  • The idea for the Society for the Study of Human Development (SSHD) arose in Sweden in May 1997, during a weeklong celebration and symposium in honor of the career achievements of David Magnusson, professor emeritus, Stockholm University. Richard M. Lerner (Bergstrom Chair in Applied Developmental Science, Tufts University) and Paul B. Baltes (director, Max Planck Institute for Human Development), along with the other conference participants, were traveling from Wyk's Castle to Stockholm, where both Professor Baltes and Professor Jerome Kagan (professor of psychology, Harvard University) would deliver, at the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, back-to-back keynote addresses about the contributions of Professor Magnusson's work.
