FYS 159 - In the Best Interests of the Children

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

Every day, parents, educators, doctors, and government officials make decisions "in the best interests of the children." Competing views of the relative importance of "nature" and "nurture" frequently influence these decisions. Recent advances in neuroscience, developmental biology, and genetics have dramatically changed this ancient debate, but not its importance. In this course, we will explore this issue and its place in parental decision-making and public policy choices in child welfare. Pinto
