OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
