Expertise
I am happy to speak to media and press outlets about my research or about topics in which I have particular expertise. These areas include:
-
Child development, especially gender development
-
Children's toys and play
-
Children's learning (especially in early education, within families or with peers, and in educational contexts outside of the classroom such as in museum settings)
-
Mitigating the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
​
I am also available for consulting on research methods and data analysis related to the above topics and to behavioral science more generally. Please see my Consulting & Trainings page for more information.
