Developmental Research Network
The Developmental Research Network at the University of Chicago is an interdisciplinary group that aims to forge connections and collaborations among faculty and students University-wide whose research relates to developmental science. Faculty research interests include (though are not limited to) the following: early cognitive and social development; education policy, curricula, economics, and inequalities; social policy, legal systems, and child welfare; typical and atypical development and outcomes; transitions from home to school and school to work; poverty, race, and immigration; culture and cognition.
Incoming graduate students to the developmental area of the Psychology Department area are invited to take advantage of the unique interdisciplinary nature of the Developmental Network in both their coursework and research pursuits.
