Culture and Development

 

Faculty in the Culture and Development area take multidisciplinary research perspectives that bring anthropological, linguistic, psychological, and sociological theories to studies of children, youth and adults in cultural contexts of education and other lifeworld activities. Areas of specific focus include studies of lifelong learning and development as well as the socialization of children, youth, and adults from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in a variety of national and international settings. Faculty with a developmental focus specifically conduct research on the cultural contexts of development throughout the lifespan (from early childhood to adulthood), cross-cultural and cross-national comparative studies, and gender studies.

Please view the webpages of faculty to learn more about the research being conducted in this area.
