Research

CDPP students are actively engaged in research throughout the program. All CDPP students are required to complete predissertation and dissertation research projects. Faculty members run research groups that meet regularly and provide support and collegiality for ongoing research.

The CDPP runs a weekly Research Brown Bag lunch, held on Wednesdays, for students and faculty. Students present their research at different stages of development. The Research Brown Bag gives students a chance to see what their fellow students are working on, enables them to get feedback about their own research, and gives them an opportunity to make constructive suggestions about the research of others in an informal and collaborative context.

"The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live — all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives."

Robert H. Wozniak (1991) from Worlds of Childhood. See The Columbia World of Quotations.
