Section on Human Animal Interaction: Research & Practice – Summer 2015

The Human-Animal Interaction Section of Division 17 would like to encourage you to participate in our various events at APA.  A list of these events is presented below. We particularly encourage you to join us at the Hospitality Suite on Friday, August 7, from 2:00 – 3:50, which will be a time for informal networking with others interested in the field of HAI work. If you’re interested in the field and want to know more about our section and what we do, if you have done research and want to share your ideas and learn from others’ research, or if you are thinking about doing research in the area and want to  learn more about how to get involved, this will be the time and location to do that.

We hope to see you at APA!
