TASP is a multidisciplinary organization
whose purpose is to promote the study of play, to support and cooperate
with other organizations having similar purposes, and to organize
meetings and publications that facilitate the sharing and dissemination
of information related to the study of play. TASP publishes a regular,
extensive newsletter that includes book reviews, research updates
in different disciplines, and other information. TASP also publishes
Play and Culture Studies on a regular basis.

TASP’s broad focus includes many disciplines and scholarly
interests, including animal behavior, anthropology, the arts and
humanities, biology, communication, cultural studies, education,
folklore, history, kinesiology, musicology, occupational science,
philosophy, psychology, recreation, and sociology.
The theme of the 2005 conference is “The Dynamic of Play.”
Theoretical and research papers or discussion panels on any play
topics are accepted. Proposals on the following topics are especially
encouraged: play and recreation with all age groups, cross-cultural
studies, play with diverse populations, therapeutic use of play,
governmental/educational policies concerning play, and animal play.
In 2005, TASP is pleased to join the Society for Cross-Cultural
Research (SCCR) and the Society for Anthropological Sciences (SASci)
in jointly hosting these meetings. The conference meetings will
be held Feb. 23 to 27, 2005 at the Hilton Hotel in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, with an opening “all delegates” reception at
the Hilton on the evening of Wednesday February 23, 2005.
Submission of proposals for papers, panels, and symposia must be
received by November 15, 2004. Proposals will be accepted after
this date only if space is available. Notices of acceptance will
be sent by Dec. 15, 2004.
