Course description:
This advanced course provides students with a unique opportunity to learn
in depth about critical controversies and current research trends in early
child development, from interdisciplinary, applied, cross-cultural, and
ecological perspectives. This innovative course combines weekly seminars
with research retreats at one of UBC=B9s world-class interdisciplinary
research consortia, the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP). Students
will be exposed to methodological, ethical, and theoretical debates in
regard to early child development research that draws from life course
paradigms as well as Indigenous Knowledge approaches. The course will be
co-taught by HELP faculty. Emphasis will be placed on critically examining
how current research knowledge can be mobilized into community-based
action and policies.
