Scientific Program
As is typical for an ISRA meeting, a broad range of biological, psychological and social topics and issues related to aggression will be presented. Because issues of aggression cross academic discipline boundaries, we are making an effort to reach out across disciplines while maintaining the scientific integrity of the presentations. Please note that as presentations are added to the schedule, the details of the scientific program may change. We strongly suggest checking this website periodically for updates and changes.
