In this course, students will learn how human development is influenced by and influences cultural norms and practices and how culture plays a role in social, physical, cognitive, and language development from infancy through old age. Developmental topics such as the family, socialization, language, gender, childrearing, schooling, health, and life events such as birth, rites of passage, marriage, and death will be examined through the lenses of cultural communities (e.g. a Mexicano community in Northern California), cultural groups (e.g. Pueblo Indians, African Americans, Japanese, etc.), and cultural organizations or institutions (e.g. schools, community organizations, national institutions, etc.).
