The Schubert Center for Child Studies supports multidisciplinary research and education on children and childhood at Case Western Reserve University. Initiatives of the Schubert Center for Child Studies promote understandings of child development from infancy through adolescence, and in local, national, and international contexts.
The primary goals of the Schubert Center for Child Studies are to:
- support basic and applied research on children and childhood;
- promote interdisciplinary connections for research, education, and policy at Case Western Reserve University and in the community; and
- disseminate new research findings through conferences, lectures, newsletters and website.
The Schubert Center for Child Studies emphasizes the need to understand how child development is:
- shaped by everyday settings, including families, peer and friendship groups, schools, and neighborhoods;
- affected by local, national, and international policies;
- conditioned by history and culture; and
- understood within the context of the larger life course.
