CHHD Colloquium Series
A core CHHD activity is its interdisciplinary colloquium series, usually offered in coordination with the graduate and faculty seminar. Leading and emerging researchers from UConn and other universities have presented their current work related to the intersecting concerns of the three CHHD domains. Topics covered in the seminar have included cultural aspects of normative social, emotional, and cognitive development; clinically significant syndromes such as post-partum distress and attention-deficit disorder; and evolutionary and developmental aspects of health and nutrition.
