Parenting is both universal and deeply shaped by culture, history, and social context. This seminar examines parenting through a developmental science lens, highlighting attachment, socialization, co-parenting, intergenerational influences, and the impact of stress, poverty, and technology. Students will consider how cultural values, systemic inequities, and shifting norms influence what it means to raise children today. Class meetings combine critical discussion of research with hands-on opportunities to design and carry out original research on parenting. Students are recommended to have taken 200, 202, 203, or 204 prior to PSYC 490.
