Upcoming Webinar: Bridging the Gap: Getting Your Research into Policymakers’ Hands
📅 August 20, 2026
⏰ 7:00 AM EST
Presenter: Jennifer E. Lansford
Duke University, USA
Developmental science has the greatest impact when it informs the decisions that shape children’s lives. In this session, Early Career Scholars will learn practical approaches for translating research into policy-relevant messages, engaging with policymakers, and communicating evidence in ways that support meaningful change across diverse cultural and national contexts.
Dr. Jennifer E. Lansford is the S. Malcolm Gillis Distinguished Research Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University in the United States. She leads the Parenting Across Cultures Project, a longitudinal study of children, mothers, and fathers from nine countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States). She has consulted for UNICEF on the evaluation of parenting programs in several countries and on the development of a set of international standards for parenting programs. She is Editor of the International Journal of Behavioral Development and President of the Society for Research in Child Development.
