allowing for
an
int
roductory meeting andza conclusion, there are
then 12 classes and 12 faculty members in psychology. (Actually there are
11, but Professor Dan Hart, the director of the Childhood Stud
es Program is a
psychologist both by training and by area of research, and he has graciously
agreed to present his work in the proseminar.)us, during the first half of the class, each week a
different faculty member will speak on his/her rese Porn ch. To give you an
idea of people’s career path and the trajectory of research interests over
time--of how one question or topic leads to another--I have asked each faculty
member to begin with some biographical remarks, describing what led to an
interest in psychology, his/her area of concentration in graduate school and
the path from that topic to present research projects. Schedule
