In the Lifespan lab at Emmanuel College our goal is to develop robust theory and conduct empirical research that meaningfully contributes to scientific knowledge on the period of development between ages 30-45 known as Established Adulthood.
We are also continuing earlier lines of research that focusses on the impact of gender and gender related processes on identity and social development across the lifespan.
COLLABORATIONS
In the lifespan lab we collaborate with colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, and West Virginia University.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Experiences of Adulthood
A Conceptual Model of Gender identity
Childhood Gender Segregation: An International Perspective
