Overview of class

Particular attention is given to theories and research that address the roles of culture, context, human diversity and marginalization. The course adopts an ecological perspective, examining how multiple, intersecting levels of micro and macro contexts (parents, peers, schools, media, culture, stereotypes) shape social and emotional development.
