Professor Adeline Delavande will be a speaker at the Rethinking Early Childhood Public Policy Workshop, delivering a talk on “Beliefs and Maternal Investments in Children.”
The Rethinking Early Childhood Public Policy Workshop takes as its starting point a growing body of evidence that early childhood experiences shape life trajectories more decisively than any other factor.
While political attention has long centered on formal education, research shows that a significant share of a person’s future is determined by the care, stimulation, and environment they receive in their first years of life. Many children are effectively left behind before they even reach toddlerhood. The workshop’s goal is to produce concrete public policy proposals that promote equitable opportunities for all children from the start.
The workshop brings together experts from psychology, education, neuroscience, economics, and law, alongside national and international policymakers.
There will be three sets of presentations, each with a thematic focus:
A: The Developing Child: Brain, Body, and Early Experience
B: Language, Learning, and the Early Years
C: Systems, Rights, and Policy for Early Childhood
Keynotes, presenters, and a detailed schedule to be announced shortly.
