Call For Papers: CAOT - OS Stream

Deadline, September 15 2010

In partnership with CAOT, the Canadian Society of Occupational Scientists will be hosting its 2nd occupational science stream at the 2011 CAOT Conference in Saskatoon, SK. Parallel to the theme of the larger CAOT conference, the occupational science stream is inviting papers that address current realities and future possibilities in occupational science. Theoretical, methodological and research papers and posters addressing issues of diversity, culture, place, and community in relation to occupation will be given priority. Submission for panels addressing the potential of occupational science to inform practice and policy related to enabling occupation are welcomed from researchers engaged in the study of human occupation from a variety of disciplinary lenses. 

Occupational Scientist
Occupational scientists are interested in enhancing understanding of the everyday occupations human beings engage in within a variety of life realms (e.g. work, leisure, parenting, etc.). Occupational science examines the contributions of occupation to individuals and collectives (e.g. health, identity, collective capacity) and the issues that influence the occupations individuals and collectives want to, need to and are able to engage in. Submissions are welcomed that contribute to this domain of concern.
