OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
