Hi Barry. I have been "fighting cancer" as it is sometimes put, since June, and fully hospitalized since November 1. This is the first time I have been able even to try to send a message!
Believe it or not, despite my eery statement, I could recover completely. At 83, that would be worthy of note!
Best wishes, Alvin

National Centre of Competence in Research "LIVES - Overcoming vulnerability:
life course perspectives"
How do people deal with a changing world? Synonymous as it may be with lengthening of the life span and increase in material comfort, the development of post-industrial society is also a source of new hazards restricting the self-fulfilment of many people. Confronted with change in family, religious identities, made insecure by the major shifts of economic activity in a globalised world, there are many who feel or who actually find themselves in a situation of vulnerability. In the course of their lives many people are exposed to crisis situations, either because they lack key resources or because their living conditions deteriorate drastically. These processes cause human suffering and social exclusion, and they come with considerable financial costs.
Thus according to Switzerland's Ministry of the Economy, stress currently affects 82% of the nation's people, 12% of them severely. The cost of this is estimated at about 8 billion francs, or 2.3% of GDP.
As a result, investigating the mechanisms which allow some individuals to adapt better than others to the development of society is becoming a priority for better understanding the phenomenon of vulnerability and the means of overcoming it.
Following a call for proposals and the selection made by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the federal Ministry of the Interior has declared the project "LIVES - overcoming vulnerability: life course perspectives" a National Centre of Competence in Research.

Doctoral Programme
Objectives et organisation
NCCR LIVES is developing a doctoral programme intended in the first instance for doctoral students in social science and psychology who include life course issues in their work. The doctoral programme aims to provide courses of study leading to high-quality doctorates within a reasonable period of time and to facilitate the professional integration of doctoral students in academic and other careers. The LIVES doctoral programme is organised over a period of three academic years, due to the three to four modules each year. It includes three types of modules:
methods and concepts in life course analysis;
scientific research skills;
practice in research.
Get in contact with the direction of the doctoral programme
