Throughout my teaching and research, I adopt the culture and human development approach to the fields of education, pedagogy and developmental psychology. This approach can challenge normative assumptions and address universalities as well as cultural specificities of development and learning: I study what people believe and do in context. Through studying human development in it’s cultural, developmental niche, I try to broaden and deepen existing theories of development and learning.
