About the conference
The Life History Research Society (LHRS) is a dynamic, informal, and multidisciplinary group of scholars dedicated to prospective longitudinal research examining various aspects of human development. While early longitudinal studies were often spearheaded by epidemiologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists, today these methods are embraced across a wide range of disciplines.
This growth is due not only to the compelling findings generated by longitudinal studies over the past 50 years—which have demonstrated their unique methodological strengths and contributions to knowledge—but also to the sustained efforts of key researchers and organizations like LHRS, who have championed collaborative, interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange.
2026 Conference Theme: Life-course Research from a Global Perspective.
