Dr. Ananda Marin: Online Workshop: Synthesis of child development and Indigenous ways of knowing
Please enjoy the 19 minute recording below of scholar Dr. Ananda Marin sharing a synthesis of the research on child development and Indigenous ways of knowing and being with implications for best practices. This video was produced as part of a series to expand knowledge and best practices across programs and individuals supporting Native students, families, and communities.
Abstract:
Child development is a robust field of research, practice, and policy in the United States and around the globe. Specific domains of interest for the field include: sources of development, plasticity, continuity/discontinuity, and individual differences. While Indigenous child development is less well researched, Dr. Marin outlines the emerging field of Native scholarship and research on the subject and provides key questions for both research and practice. Specific interest for the field include: nature-culture relations, core beliefs about development, and culturally determined learning pathways.
