Fourth Annual Conference

(3) Advance theory and methods for understanding groups
(4) Promote interdisciplinary research
The fifth INGRoup conference is planned to facilitate conversations among scholars across disciplines. In addition to paper and symposia sessions, innovative sessions designed to facilitate interdisciplinary conversation will be programmed. A business meeting will be devoted to planning for the future of INGRoup and its conferences.
