SUMMARY:RARC Town Hall Meeting
DESCRIPTION:It has now been three years since we launched the Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC)\, and your feedback has played a vital role in shaping our mission and activities. As we look ahead to the next 3–5 years\, we are once again seeking your input to help guide the future of the RARC. We will be holding a series of town hall meetings in January to share results from the recent RARC Feedback Survey and to create an open forum for discussing priorities and future directions.

SUMMARY:NJACE Symposia: Roy R. Grinker\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Diagnosing the Spectrum: The Role of Culture in the Study of Autism”\nDate and Time: Thursday\, January 29\, 2026\, 12 – 1 PM \nSpeaker: Roy R. Grinker\, PhD \nIn this lecture\, Roy R. Grinker\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Anthropology at the George Washington University\, lecture responds to what some commentators call an “autism epidemic.” Drawing on personal experience\, the history of diagnosis\, and cross-cultural variations in the identification of developmental disorders and mental illnesses\, he traces the cultural and historical processes that have shifted the definitions and boundaries of the concept of autism. He emphasizes that autism is best thought of as “autisms” (multiple pathways and presentations)\, shaped not only by biology but by social meanings\, institutions\, and inequalities. The lecture closes by urging policies and research to prioritize lifespan support\,\nservices\, and inclusion\, rather than to search for easy answers or single causes. \nRSVP HERE By January 26: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eEG3TC2hGtKdUoe
