Research Overview
My research interests broadly aim to explore how the cultural context of children shape the way they view, understand, and explain the world around them. I am specifically interested in how the cultural context shapes children’s causal reasoning about biological illnesses. In the future, I hope to investigate how Mexican children and parents who grow up practicing witchcraft reason about biological illnesses
