| Sumario: | The Oxford Handbook of Human Development and Culture: An Interdisciplinary Perspective provides an in-depth and comprehensive synopsis of theory and research on human development, with every chapter drawing together findings from cultures around the world. This includes a focus on cultural change, migration, and globalization. The handbook covers the life course from the prenatal period and birth to old age and death. Chapters are written by an international group of eminent and cutting-edge experts who represent disciplines such as anthropology, education, human development, family studies, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology. The topics covered are wide-ranging. They include cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development. There is also a focus on a variety of developmental contexts such as family, school, work, media, community and civic realms, and religion. The 43 chapters showcase the burgeoning interdisciplinary approach to scholarship that bridges universal and cultural perspectives on human development. This “cultural-developmental approach” is a multifaceted, flexible, and dynamic way to conceptualize theory and research that is in step with the cultural and global realities of human development in the 21st century. |
