I am interested in the mechanisms behind how early experiences help children learn to understand and empathize with the people around them. Specifically, I’m interested in factors in a child’s early social environment (e.g. parent emotionality and emotion-language-use, or sibling and peer interactions) and in other experiences that provide a window into perspectives outside their own (e.g. narratives from books and other media). I hope that my work can help inform early social-emotional education.
