This event will be live-streamed on March 7 at 3:45 p.m.
Where has the field of human development been? Where is it now? Where is it going? Where should it go? Panelists will reflect on the ideas that have been central to their respective areas of the field — including neuroscience, media and technology, and adolescent development — and how ideas have evolved. Speakers will also share their concerns about the future of human development as well as their hopes for how the field might make greater contributions to both our understanding of child and adult development and our efforts to improve education.
