Guest Speaker: Dr. Katie Hinde (ASU School of Human Evolution & Social Change)

Hinde came to ASU from an assistant professorship in human evolutionary biology at Harvard University (2011-2015). BIO: Did you know mother's milk was older than dinosaurs? Or that the "biological recipe" of mother's milk can differ for sons and daughters? Did you know that milk doesn't just provide the building blocks for infant development, but fuels infant behavior too? At Arizona State University, Hinde investigates the food, medicine, and signal of mother's milk. In addition to dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, Hinde co-edited “Building Babies: Primate Developmental Trajectories in Proximate and Ultimate Perspective” released by Springer in 2013. Hinde is an associate editor and writer for SPLASH! Milk Science Update, executive council member for the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation, and showcases research on mother’s milk, breastfeeding, and lactation for the general public, clinicians, and researchers at her blog “Mammals Suck… Milk!”  … Event interval: Single day event.

I adopt an interdisciplinary approach to examine this question, by putting anthropological and psychological theories in conversation, combining ethnographic, experimental and computational methods, and drawing from the broad field of Chinese studies. My work spans multiple geographic regions and historical periods, i.e. contemporary China, Martial-Law era Taiwan, and cross-cultural comparative contexts. Together my research pursues three inter-related themes: 1) moral development in familial and educational settings in contemporary China; 2) Continuity and change in thoughts of morality and education in Chinese communities across time and space; and 3) cross-cultural comparison of socio-moral cognition. My first monograph, The Good Child: Moral Development in a Chinese Preschool (Stanford University P… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Denny Hall (DEN). Campus room: DEN313.
