The mission of SSEA is to advance the understanding of development in emerging adulthood through scholarship, education, training, policy, and practice. This goal is promoted through biennial meetings, the flagship journal Emerging Adulthood, and a website that includes information on topics, events, and publications about emerging adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and countries. Membership is open to researchers, policymakers, educators, and practitioners with special interests in development during this period of life.
As an international society, SSEA recognizes that identities, structural inequities, and historical legacies shape development. We strive to integrate these aspects into our work, ensuring research, policy, and practice reflect the diverse realities of emerging adults worldwide.
