On we hosted the 2023 CSOS Occupational Science Symposium: Innovations in research inquiry and methodologies in Occupational Science (OS): A CSOS Symposium for Researchers, Graduate Students and Educators.
The event kicked off with an enlightening keynote address by Dr. Rebecca Aldrich, who delivered the Townsend & Polatajko Lectureship “Uncertainty and Occupation.” Dr. Aldrich’s thought-provoking insights set the stage for a day filled with intellectual stimulation and collaborative discussions.
Throughout the day, attendees were treated to a diverse array of 16 presentations, each delving into different facets of Occupational Science. The symposium provided a platform for the exchange of ideas that promised to shape the future of the field.
