Developing Destinies is an engaging narrative of one remarkable person's life and the life of her community that blends psychology, anthropology, and history to reveal the integral role that culture plays in human development. With extensive photographs and accounts of Mayan family life, medical practices, birth, child development, and learning, Rogoff adeptly shows that we can better understand the role of culture in our lives by examining how people participate in cultural practices.
In this webinar, this time in Spanish, Dr. Rogoff, will share with us her findings on how individuals worldwide build on cultural heritage from prior generations and at the same time create new ways of living.
