New Members /
Students / Young Scholars
Are you a Graduate Student? Undergraduate Student?
Are you new to the AME organization?
Is this going to be your first professional conference? Or one of your
first?
Is this the first time you
will be attending an AME conference?
Are you worried about who you will talk to? What you will do? How this
ALL WORKS?
Although we are labeling this webpage to attract New
and Student Scholars, we intend the information here to be helpful
for anyone attending the AME 2012 conference.
Even if you have been to an AME conference before, some of the
information about San Antonio will likely be new for you.
Everyone who is attending this conference is likely to remember what it
was like when they were first beginning to attend conferences. While it
is always a memorable experience, there are certainly aspects of
attending an international conference like this that can lead anyone to
be anxious. You are not alone!
The purpose of this section of the conference website is to provide
students, new AME members, or other young (or young at heart) scholars, a central location to ask questions,
share their experiences, and even possibly make connections with others before the conference begins.
One of the conference planning committee members,
Amie Senland, M.A.,
will be coordinating all of the various aspects of this webpage. Amie is currently a doctoral student at Fordham University in New York
City, she has been attending AME conferences since she was an
undergraduate student at Saint Joseph College in Connecticut (now
University of Saint Joseph).
If
you would like to ask Amie a question about the conference, or would
like to share your experiences as a student (or former student)
attending a conference, you can contact her at
ame2012asenland@gmail.com
FAQs
*Here we hope to provide an
ever-expanding list of some common questions
about attending professional conferences in
general, and the AME 2012 conference in particular.
Check back often as we will be adding to
this list as more questions come in. If you have
a question you think would be relevant here,
please send it to Amie
Senland at

Mentoring Events at AME 2012
One goal of AME has always been to mentor those new to
the field of academia, or new to disciplines addressed by AME members.
Specific events are designed to provide that mentoring experience to
such scholars, including students, new members, and anyone else who is
interested.
More details will be available as we get closer to the
conference in November, but for now please be aware that there are two
Scholar Mentoring sessions scheduled in the program. One is late on
Thursday morning before the official Welcome of the conference and one
is early Friday morning before the first set of presentation.
Both are free and all are invited to attend.

Student-Focused Presentations at AME 2012
In addition to the mentoring sessions noted above, there will be various presentations at this conference that might be of
particular interest to students (and other Scholars early in their
careers). We will
provide details about each of these presentations as the details become
finalized.
Student Spotlight: Introductions and Experiences
*In
this area of the webpage, we will provide information from other
students who will introduce themselves and share any conference
experiences or expectations they might have.
If you are interested in
being included in this area, we would welcome your submission

 I
am a first year student in Developmental and Psychological Studies in
Education at Stanford University, and interested in the developmental
process of moral formation and the neuroscientific basis of human
morality. I am participating in a research project that examines the
role of truth, humility, and faith in the moral formation of exemplary
individuals.
Before coming to Stanford University, I taught Ethics
and Philosophy at Daein High School and Chungshin Girls' High School in
Korea. My experience also includes computer programming and system
engineering for semiconductor manufacturing. I received my B.A. in
Ethics Education, B.S. in Astronomy and Bachelor minor in Computer
Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea, and my M.S. in the
Science, Technology and Society program, Korea Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology, Korea.
Attending AME 2102 would aid me substantially in
professional development, allowing me to presenting my own research,
establish contact with leading scholars, and improve my understanding of
the latest trends in my areas of research interest.

Amie Senland,
M.A., AME 2012 Conference Committee Member and
Department of Psychology, Fordham University
 As an undergraduate at Saint Joseph College in Connecticut (now University of Saint Joseph), I worked with my professors (Dr. Elizabeth Vozzola, Dr. Mary Whitney, and Dr. Joan Hofmann) on their research on children’s moral understanding of Harry Potter.
I completed my Honors thesis on children’s moral understanding of Harry Potter and expanded that research in a second study investigating how the Christian worldview shapes families’ moral understanding of Harry Potter.
My interest in moral reasoning and moral development has continued as a graduate student at Fordham University, where I work with Dr. Ann Higgins-D’Alessandro.
During graduate school, my research has focused on moral
reasoning and empathy in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders
