Master of Arts in Psychology - Developmental Psychology

Simon Fraser University

We currently have four core members in the developmental area: Tanya Broesch, Jeremy Carpendale, Hali Kil, and Joanna Peplak. We have a strong research presence in the developmental science community, and as a group we excel in the area of social, moral, and cross-cultural development. Each of our faculty members is strongly connected to the discipline, giving international invited talks, and publishing in well-read venues.Broesch is a leading researcher in the field of culture and development and takes a community-engaged and participant-led approach to her research. She is currently running a SSHRC-funded multi-site project with international collaborators on socialization practices across cultures. Broesch’s work has highlighted the role of cultural context in development across the world, including at her current research site in Vanuatu.
