INTRODUCTING ISQOLS CHAPTERS

ISQOLS By-laws state that our members be given opportunities to interact, coordinate,
serve in leadership roles, and pursue interdisciplinary research across a variety of disciplines. To better accomplish these goals, ISQOLS has created six categorical and thematic
chapters within the organization. These discipline-specific chapters, help focus attention on
specific topics and categories within Quality-of-Life studies and help define "quality-of-life"
in more tangible and applicable ways. It also helps ISQOLS move towards interdisciplinary
research by encouraging members to interact with researchers from different backgrounds
based upon a similar interest in a particular category.
All six chapters will be primarily facilitated online on the isqols.org website, via the chapter online forums. Each chapter will be represented at the ISQOLS Annual Conferences as
program tracks for paper and presentation submissions.
