Susan A. Gelman
Heinz Werner Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Linguistics, University of Michigan, USAAbout the author:
My research focuses on how children organize their experience into categories, how children discover and reason about non-obvious aspects of the world, and the role of language in these processes.
What I want to achieve:
I wish to reduce reasoning biases that create boundaries between people and contribute to stereotyping. I also believe that the more we understand how children think, the better the world can be, for children and their families.
