Many of the NDL graduate students are members of The Institute for Innovations in Developmental Sciences (DevSci) at Northwestern University, a collaborative, cross-campus research and training initiative focused on research in the developmental sciences. Last week, our students had the opportunity to learn about Dr. Rashmita Mistry’s work by attending a focused reading group in which they discussed her recent work, met with her in a small group over lunch, and attended her lecture hosted by the NU Department of Psychology. Dr. Mistry’s research focuses on the impact of social class on child development. Our students had a wonderful time at these events and learned a lot!
