The AFIN Barcelona Group is organizing, with the support of the Department and the Doctoral Program, the conference “Early Childhood Development interventions: A global movement in need of cross-cultural research”, which will be delivered by Prof. Dr. Gabriel Schreidecker, Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (ISEK), University of Zurich.
The event will take place in person on May 26 at 10 a.m., in room B7/1058 of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, UAB. The conference is free of charge, requires no prior registration, and will be held in English.
In his presentation, Schreidecker will offer a critical perspective on how evidence derived from ethnographic and cross-cultural research in anthropology and cultural psychology has been systematically excluded from dominant models of child development. From this standpoint, he will analyze current policies and interventions by international organizations on Global ECD, as well as their theoretical, methodological, practical, and ethical implications.
This conference will be considered a creditable activity for Doctoral students and is open to researchers, faculty, and undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students.
