Between 2003 and 2007, Dr. Chivers completed post-doctoral fellowships at CAMH, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, a Women's Health Scholar Award from the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Dr. Chivers joined the Psychology faculty at Queen's University in the spring of 2009 as a Queen's National Scholar, an award aimed at recruiting exceptional young scholars who demonstrate outstanding achievement and promise in research. She serves on the editorial boards for the Archives of Sexual Behavior, Journal of Sex Research, and the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality, and is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Her research program focuses on basic and applied questions addressing gender differences in sexual psychophysiology, sexual attraction, and sexual functioning, with a focus on women's sexuality.

 

Michael Seto is the Director of Forensic Rehabilitation Research at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, with cross-appointments to the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, Carleton University, and the University of Ottawa.

Michael received his PhD in Clinical Psychology in 1997, from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He has published extensively on pedophilia, child pornography, sexual offending, and risk assessment, and regularly presents at scientific meetings and professional workshops on these topics. He recently authored a wellreviewed book on pedophilia and sexual offending against children, "Pedophilia and Sexual Offending Against Children: Theory, Assessment, and Intervention", published by the American Psychological Association in 2008, and is currently working on a second book, on internet-facilitated sexual offending, for the same publisher.

 

 

Call for Proposals/Abstracts

Proposal submissions were due electronically (submit to rmilhaus@uoguelph.ca) in late March (specific date TBA). The submission process will open soon. All submissions will be reviewed by the CSRF Program Committee. Those who submit proposals will be notified of the Committee’s decision by the end of May 2012. Submissions will be considered in the following categories:

1. Oral Presentations: 20 minutes with 10 minutes for discussion. In the event that more submissions for Oral Presentations are received than can be included in the conference program, abstracts will also be considered for Brief Communications. Only reports of completed research or presentations that synthesize research on a topic will be considered for Oral Presentations.
2. Brief Communications: 10 minutes with 5 minutes for discussion. Brief Communications can be reports of completed research or research proposals.
3. Symposia: 60 minutes. Presentations based on three or four papers by different authors organized around a central theme. It is expected that each paper presentation will last approximately 15 minutes with time for discussion at the end or between papers. Authors may be collaborators on a research team presenting on various aspects of a single project, or colleagues reporting on separate research projects which share a common theme. One organizer is to submit abstracts on behalf of all authors.
Note: While the preferences of those submitting abstracts will be considered, the Program Planning Committee will make final decisions about the eventual placement of presentations on the schedule as brief communications, oral presentations or symposia.
