It's been great to see so much interest in the SIGS this year. A new Early Childhood SIG has been established and will hold its first event at the Perth Conference. A panel session focussing on strategic directions in early childhood research is planned to mark the occasion.
Feedback from the 2000 Conference suggested that there is a lot of interest amongst members in forming a Sexuality SIG. If you are interested in "taking the running" with this, please contact me.
Jill Blackmore will be convening a session at the Perth Conference to discuss the possibility of setting up a Gender SIG. For further information, contact Jill at jillb@deakin.edu.au
In addition, the Teachers' Work and Lives SIG is hosting a reception/poster session (contact Catherine Scott, c.scott@uws.edu.au) and the Health and Human Movement SIG is also planning a function (contact Lori.Beckett@uts.edu.au).
If you have ideas for further SIGS please don't hesitate to get in touch.
