NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Conference

Published 27 April, 2012

The sixth annual meeting of the NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Society starts today. It is hosted by Plymouth State University, and is the annual meeting of the NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Society (NEEPS), a regional “sister organization” of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society. This year’s meeting has a number of features that look interesting, including a Feminist Evolutionary Psychology Society Workshop, a 5K (meeting, according to the program, at 5:45 in the morning), and a performance by Canadian rap artist Baba Brinkman. David Zehr is the conference host, and Benjamin Crosier is the program chair. As I write this, the forecast is for temperatures to dip below freezing only briefly on Friday and Saturday nights.

Information is here, and the program is available online.

    Did you hear anything that would sufficiently warrant a post-NEEPS-post?

      Well, there was a lot of interesting research. But I think the primary message I took away from the conference is the large number of enthusiastic young researchers out there interested in the field. It’s great to see so much excitement coming from students, and I’m optimistic about the next generation of researchers.
