 ><h2><em><strong>“Tracking Generation X: Insights and Findings from the Edm
 onton Transitions Study”</strong></em></h2><p><em>Abstract: </em>The Edmont
 on Transitions Study (ETS) has tracked a cohort of high school seniors for 
 32 years (1985 – 2017)\, from late adolescence to early midlife (age 18 to 
 50)\, with eight waves of data collection. In his review of selected ETS fi
 ndings\, Dr. Krahn will discuss the value of longitudinal research for addr
 essing complex sociological research questions\, the interpretative insight
 s offered by a life course theoretical perspective\, and the experience of 
 working with an inter-disciplinary research team.<span style="font-size: 10

 ship celebrate Kaspar Naegele’s profound impact on the lives and careers of
  his students and colleagues during his time at the University of British C
 olumbia. Prof. Naegele joined UBC in 1954\, and his work in the following d
 ecade earned him a global reputation as a leading sociologist. When he was 
 appointed the first Dean of the Faculty of Arts in 1964\, Prof. Naegele put
  his ideas about education reform into practice. Considering his wealth of 
 achievements at UBC\, he is most fondly remembered for his teaching. Beyond
  delivering lectures\, Prof. Naegele showed compassion for his students and
  was one of the most valued professors. We hope to continue growing the end
 owments for this lecture and the student award that honours Prof. Naegele.
