Catalog description

Advanced developmental seminar focusing on theoretical and empirical research covering topics in socio-emotional development. Specific topics will be related to socio-emotional development of children from conception through emerging adulthood with consideration of biological, environmental, and sociocultural influences. Students will critically evaluate socio-emotional developmental theories as they apply to diverse populations, individual differences, contexts, and historical time. Students will also reflect on how to use that knowledge to work towards antiracism, equity, and inclusion in the study of socio-emotional development.
