Call for Papers
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 30 April 2009
It is a great pleasure to call for your paper for the 31st conference of the International Association for Time Use Research (IATUR.org). The organizers, the Research Institute on Professions (Forschungsinstitut Freie Berufe, FFB) of the Leuphana University Lüneburg – home of the electronic International Journal of Time Use Research (eIJTUR.org) – and the German Federal Statistical Office together with IATUR, expect to see you in our University and the medieval town Lüneburg in Northern Germany (latitude 53.250, longitude 10.417), half an hour south of Hamburg, two hours from Berlin, a day from Sydney, Australia. Besides the conference and additional workshops around the conference core, Lüneburg is attractive for further travelling through Germany and Europe.
‘New approaches and results in time use research’ is the IATUR 2009 Lüneburg conference motto. Convinced of the great importance of the encompassing time dimension in our daily life – and being sure together with the Rolling Stones tune ‘Time is on my side’ – all papers addressing substantive and methodological issues also on a multinational level are encouraged.
Time use researchers provide answers to the general question: “who does, what for, when, how long” either based on time use diary data or other forms of time use information about “what, when, where, with whom” within a cross-section or longitudinal/panel design.
Submission
Contributions from economic, sociology and other sciences are welcome according to the timing, duration, frequency, sequence and impacts of daily life activities. They include all kinds of market and non-market activities with labour market aspects and unpaid work in the formal and informal economy, gender aspects and family and leisure activities, environmental behaviour, social networks and social contacts, geography, travel, child and elder care, new media and internet, adolescent and the youth, time poverty and stress and many more.
Please indicate if your abstract is for a longer presentation (20 minutes + questions), a shorter presentation (10 minutes + questions), or a poster, and what main category from the list below your contribution belongs. Posters about new activities, new projects, new surveys etc. are welcome in particular. To give many participants the possibility of presenting a paper, the organizers reserve the right to turn down multiple submissions from the same person.

- Changing structure of paid and unpaid work
