Early Linguistic and Conceptual Development(Project on Child Development) - This servies of studies addresses issues of early conceptual development, language development and the relation between them.

? NFG#Sl0Biological Thought: A Cross Cultural View(Cross Cultural Biological Thought Research)- We are focusing on how our notions of the natural world unfold -      across development, across cultures, and across languages, asking      fundamental questions which include, “What is the place of humans      within the natural world?”, “What does it mean to be ‘alive’?”, and      “How do children across cultures develop these concepts?”

P\5zOQ0Science Inside and Outside the Classroom:  In collaboration      with researchers on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin and the      American Indian Center in Chicago, we are exploring children's      reasoning about biology and science across cultures (Native      American/Majority) and across rural/urban populations.  We hope to      develop this line of research into workable interventions that      improve students' understanding of science and preserve the      biological knowledge that Native American students bring with them      into the classroom.
