Culture and context have emerged as two important dimensions of current research in the fields of developmental and social psychology. How are these terms defined and used from various research perspectives? This course will explore the ways in which psychologists have examined cultural and contextual aspects of development, specifically from social and cognitive viewpoints. This includes studying how culture plays a role in the acquisition of knowledge and how children's and adults' interpretations, beliefs, and judgments often define the social context. This is an upper-level course for advanced students in the social sciences. Oral class presentations will be required as well as written exercises.
