Dear Colleagues,
The Field Center for Children’s Policy, Practice & Research at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to present our 2011 conference, One Child, Many Hands: A Multidisciplinary Conference on Child Welfare. This year’s theme is “Protecting Children—Protecting our Future.”
We are delighted to open the conference with none other than Bill Cosby. An educator, advocate, and philanthropist, Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr. will deliver this year’s Opening Keynote Address. Dr. Cosby’s work, both in the entertainment field and in the larger community, is all about children. His presentation promises to be one you mustn’t miss.
This year’s Plenary Panels each address a timely topic and feature the nation’s leading experts. Plenary Panels include:
• Breaking Down the Walls: Confidentiality Issues in Cross-System Decision Making • I Still Want Family: Perspectives of Establishing Pathways to Permanence for Older Youth• Child Maltreatment Over the Last Decade: Is it Really Declining?
A total of 36 different workshops, with scheduled presenters from Oregon to Australia, will offer sessions on critical practice, policy, and research initiatives, integrating work across all disciplines. With so many outstanding presentations, it will be difficult to choose.
Addressing the conference during Thursday’s Networking Luncheon are the Honorable Kevin Dougherty, Administrative Judge of Philadelphia Family Court, and Anne Marie Ambrose, Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Human Services. Truly embracing the concept of collaboration to support systemic reform, Judge Dougherty and Ms. Ambrose will share their groundbreaking efforts to partner for the protection of children.
Closing our conference and delivering our Closing Keynote Address is Dr. David Finkelhor, Director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center and Co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory, University of New Hampshire. Dr. Finkelhor’s body of work over the course of his notable career provides a foundation for all that we do. A prolific writer and recipient of numerous awards, Dr. Finkelhor has been called the most prominent sociologist in the field of child sexual abuse.
For an added treat, join your colleagues at the Phillies game. One Child, Many Hands has been fortunate to secure a block of tickets exclusively for conference-goers. Get on the bus for an evening of fun with Philadelphia’s championship team!
We look forward to your joining us as we protect our future by protecting our children.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
OPENING KEYNOTE SPEAKER Bill CosbyWilliam H. Cosby, Jr. was born to William and Anna Cosby on July 12, Germantown Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Calling himself a “late bloomer,” he did not realize the value of a formal education until after the first four days of boot camp in the U.S. Navy. Cosby said, “Four years later in May, when I got out of the Navy, I hit the ground running from Norfolk, VA and immediately enrolled at Temple University in Philadelphia.”
Bill Cosby is well known for his commitment to education. He emphatically believes that the best assurance for a satisfying and rewarding life begins with knowledge. Cosby himself went back to college, long after he had achieved much of his success to obtain a masters degree as well as an Ed.D. He has, in fact, applied this further education in his professional life.
One of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, Bill Cosby has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best selling books such as Fatherhood. His comedy transcends age, gender, and cultural barriers.
Cosby broke television’s racial barrier with a role in I Spy, becoming the first African American to costar on a television series and win three consecutive Emmys for “Outstanding Lead Actor” in the dramatic series. The veteran comic created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004. The show, based on Cosby’s childhood in Philadelphia, was designed to educate and entertain. His illustrious list of accomplishments includes roles on the children’s educational show Electric Company, and creating and producing the Emmy award winning Little Bill, which is based on his bestselling book series.
Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper class black family. Cosby said his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show “an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race.” The Cosby Show dominated the No. One spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise. Life magazine described the program as “a gentle, whimsical, warmhearted” show whose “delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed perspective on their own domestic lives.”
Cosby has never stopped realizing the importance of challenging himself. “People always say ‘You don’t need money, why are you still working?’ My answer is that it isn’t about money. That’s academic. It’s about accepting the challenges of one’s own ideas, clarifying the unanswered questions and pursuing the excitement of discovery.”
For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, was the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award in 2010.
CLOSING KEYNOTE SPEAKER David Finkelhor, PhDDavid Finkelhor is Director of Crimes against Children Research Center, Co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory, Professor of Sociology, and University Professor, at the University of New Hampshire. He has been studying the problems of child victimization, child maltreatment and family violence since 1977.
Finkelhor is well known for his conceptual and empirical work on the problem of child sexual abuse, reflected in publications such as Sourcebook on Child Sexual Abuse (Sage, 1986) and Nursery Crimes (Sage, 1988). He has also written about child homicide, missing and abducted children, children exposed to domestic and peer violence and other forms of family violence. In his recent work, for example, his book, Child Victimization (Oxford University Press, 2008), he has tried to unify and integrate knowledge about all the diverse forms of child victimization in a field he has termed Developmental Victimology. This book received the Daniel Schneider Child Welfare Book of the Year award in 2009. All together, he is editor and author of 12 books and over 200 journal articles and book chapters. He has received grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, and the US Department of Justice, and a variety of other sources.
In 1994, Finkelhor was given the Distinguished Child Abuse Professional Award by the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children, in 2004 he was given the Significant Achievement Award from the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, in 2005 he and his colleagues received the Child Maltreatment Article of the Year award, and in 2007 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Criminology.

WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA, home of great sports, great food, and great culture! We hope that during your stay, you will explore our exciting, vibrant city. In addition to being a vital part of our nation’s history, Philadelphia also features a wealth of museums and galleries, restaurants from the world’s top chefs, championship sports teams, and a lively cultural scene.
The City of Brotherly Love is also the birthplace of America. Philadelphia’s Old City District is home to landmarks such as the Liberty Bell (Market Street between 5th and 6th Streets), the Betsy Ross House (Arch Street between 2nd and 3rd), and Independence Hall (Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th). The National Constitution Center on Independence Mall is a recent addition to the city, and features interactive and multi-media exhibits honoring and explaining the U.S. Constitution. For a guided tour, the Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia explores the city with you and features more than 20 historic sites.
The image of Rocky running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art is world-famous, but cannot compare to the Museum’s reputation as one of the great art institutions of the world. The Franklin (20th Street and the Ben Franklin Parkway) is Philadelphia’s most-visited museum, and features interactive exhibits and theater-based programming providing a fun and educational look at science and technology.
For a taste of the local cuisine, visit Pat’s or Geno’s cheesesteaks at 12th and Passyunk Streets in South Philadelphia’s Italian Market, and participate in the debate for Philadelphia’s King of Steaks. Philadelphia natives also recommend Jim’s Steaks at 4th and South Streets.
In addition to cheesesteaks and soft pretzels, Philadelphia is home to seven restaurants by famed “Iron Chef” Jose Garces. His restaurant, Distritio, is just blocks from the conference site. You can find many of Center City’s fine dining establishments on Rittenhouse Row (Walnut Street from Broad to 21st). You may also want to visit Philadelphia’s Chinatown, which extends from Arch Street to Vine, between 8th and 11th Streets. Be sure to stop in one of the area’s many tea houses, bakeries, and restaurants featuring Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Thai cuisines.
Another popular hometown attraction is the Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch Streets). An indoor market founded in 1892 on the site of William Penn’s original Philadelphia market, the Reading Terminal Market features fresh meats, poultry, produce and seafood, Amish specialties, and unique hand-made pottery, jewelry and crafts from around the world, plus a little bit of everything else. The Market is also one of the top destinations for a quick and excellent lunch in Center City Philadelphia.
For information on these exhibits and other attractions in the Philadelphia area, visit the Independence Visitor Center at www.independencevisitorcenter.com, in person at 6th and Market Streets, or by calling 800-537-7676. The Center is open daily from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm.
