In 2012 Home Economics Victoria will host the next World Congress of the International Federation of Home Economics (IFHE) in Melbourne, Australia. It will be the first congress of the next one hundred years. Home economics as a profession celebrated the centennial of the establishment of IFHE at the World Congress in 2008. This was followed by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) centenary in 2009.
One of the features of congress will be the launch of a book entitled The Next 100 years - Creating Home Economics futures, edited by Professors Donna Pendergast (Australia); Sue McGregor (Canada) and Kaija Turki (Finland). All full registrants to the congress will receive a copy of the book in their conference satchels. Books will also be available for purchase. The book offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the thinking associated with the future of the home economics profession.
Home economists and those with an interest in home economics are invited to contribute a chapter. We are keen to include authors from around the world. A stimulus chapter has been written for authors to use as a starting point from which to develop or stimulate their ideas on any aspect related to home economics in the next 100 years (see link below). Chapter authors are expected to read this chapter and to use it to inform the development of their chapter. We encourage joint as well as sole authorship.

Tables and figures to be prepared for inclusion suitable for black print range only
