Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
There is a persistent problem in developmental science, with nearly all of our research focused on urban, middle-class, English-speaking children and families residing in Europe and North America. This poses a challenge for representativeness of participants as well as the generalizability of findings. Despite the diversity of human social life and ecology, we know very little about the extent and range of human variation and how it impacts the developing child. In this talk, I underscore the strong motivation for examining development in diverse contexts. I describe common practices and methods in the sub-field of culture and development. Lastly, I provide a summary of commonalities and differences in development that we have found in our research. I emphasize the need for inter-disciplinary collaborations and partnerships.
