World Occupational Science Conference – WOSC 2022
World Occupational Science Conference
Dear Colleagues:
As you may be aware, we are hosting the 1st World Occupational Science Conference (WOSC) in Vancouver, Canada on August 18-20, 2022. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with researchers, clinicians, teachers, families, and policy-makers and to enable dialogue regarding the complex relations between human occupation and society.
Conference Theme
The theme of this conference “Occupation and Society: Global to Local Perspectives for the Future” recognizes that all occupation occurs within context. Whether people engage in occupations individually or as part of collectives (e.g., familie
s, neighbourhoods, communities), our societies inform our understandings of what people need, want, and are expected to do. This conference will enable dialogue about complex relations between human occupation and society.
