Jeffrey Jensen Arnett Biography
Jeffrey Jensen Arnett is the leading authority in the world on the age period 18-29 that he has named “emerging adulthood.” Since Dr. Arnett proposed this term in an acclaimed article in the American Psychologist in 2000 it has become widely used in diverse fields, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and education. His book Emerging Adulthood: The Winding Road from the Late Teens Through the Twenties, published in 2004 by Oxford University Press, has been described as “informative, insightful, and infectious” by the Washington Post. A second edition of the book appeared in 2015. His book (with Elizabeth Fishel) for parents of emerging adults, Getting to 30: A Parents Guide to the Twentysomething Years, was published in 2014.
Dr. Arnett has also written many influential theoretical and research articles (Google scholar citations:65307, i10-index:157) on adolescence, on topics including adolescents’ uses of media and risky behavior such as substance use and crime. Recently he has turned his attention to the full span of adult development. In 2020 he served as the Editor of a special issue of American Psychologist, widely regarded as the top journal in psychology, on Rethinking Adult Development: New Ideas for New Times.
A renowned speaker, Dr. Arnett has appeared before diverse audiences all over the United States and the world. In the United States, he has given invited or keynote speeches before college and university audiences including at Harvard Medical School, Princeton Theological Seminary, Boston College, the University of Michigan, New York University, University of Notre Dame, and the University of Illinois, among many others. Internationally, he has been an invited speaker in Australia, Belgium, Chile, China, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey. He has also given many invited speeches before business leaders, religious leaders, and parents groups.
Dr. Arnett is currently a Senior Research Scholar in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He has also taught at the University of Missouri. During 2005 he was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is author of the most widely-used textbook on adolescent development, Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: A Cultural Approach (2016, Prentice Hall, 6th Edition) as well as (with Lene Jensen) three other textbooks.

Biography: Lene Arnett Jensen
Lene Arnett Jensen is a Senior Research Scientist at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. She received her Ph.D. from the Committee on Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago, and did a year of postdoctoral work in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2005-06, she was a Research Fellow with the Academy for Migration Studies in Denmark. She joined the Department of Psychology at Clark University in 2006. In 2010-11, she held the Nehru Distinguished Chair at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda in India. In recent years, she has been a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University (2016-17), the University of Bordeaux, France (2017-18), and Tufts University (currently).
The aim of Dr. Jensen’s scholarship and professional collaborations is to move research on human development toward a focus on both what is universal and what is cultural. She is the originator of the “cultural-developmental” theoretical approach to research on human psychology. Unlike one-size-fits-all psychological theories of the 20th century, the cultural-developmental approach provides a flexible and dynamic way to think about psychological development in today’s global world. In Dr. Jensen’s book, Moral Development in a Global World: Research from a Cultural-Developmental Perspective, she argues that humans are born with a shared moral heritage and that, as we develop from childhood into adulthood, we branch off in diverse directions shaped by culture. This results in both novelty and contention (Cambridge University Press, 2015).
Dr. Jensen’s other books include The Oxford Handbook of Human Development and Culture: An Interdisciplinary Perspective, which provides an overview of theory and research on human development, with more than 40 chapters drawing together findings from cultures around the world (Oxford University Press, 2016). In The Oxford Handbook of Moral Development: An Interdisciplinary Perspective, edited by Dr. Jensen, more than 90 leading authors deliver an international, up-to-date, and comprehensive tour of the field (Oxford University Press, 2020). Dr. Jensen also authors college textbooks on child and lifespan development together with Jeffrey Jensen Arnett. Her most recent textbooks are Child Development: A Cultural Approach, 3e (Pearson, 2020), Human Development: A Cultural Approach, 3e (Pearson, 2019) and Child Development Worldwide: A Cultural Approach, 1e (Pearson, 2018).
Dr. Jensen and her colleagues have conducted research with diverse religious, ethnic, and socio-economic groups in countries such as Denmark, India, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. Her current research projects address moral development and cultural identity formation.
From 2004 to 2015, Dr. Jensen was Editor-in-Chief of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development. She chaired the 2012 Biennial Meeting of the Society for Research on Adolescence in Vancouver, Canada. Currently, she is on the editorial board of Applied Developmental Science and Journal of Adolescent Research.
A native of Denmark, Dr. Jensen has also resided in Belgium, France, and India. She speaks Danish, English and French. She lives in Massachusetts, USA.

1. Learn the basic terms and ideas in the field of human development.
2. Learn about the work of some of the most important researchers & theorists in the field.
3. Apply theories and research on human development to your life, in a way that deepens your understanding of your own development.

Class Format
In addition to discussing the content of each textbook chapter, we will engage in a variety of active learning activities in each class, including weekly reading observations, in-class writing assignments, and watching and discussing videos and other material from textbook.
Weekly Reading Observations
For each of the 13 chapters of the book, you will be required to come to class with a 200-word written assignment, your Weekly Reading Observations (WROs). These can be questions, discussions of parts of the chapter you found confusing, connections to other materials you have read, or connections to personal experience. It should NOT be a summary of the chapter content. The WROs will form the basis for our discussion of the chapter materials each week, so always be prepared to share and explain your WROs.
In-Class Writings
Now and then you will be asked to write a brief essay during class in response to a topic we have been discussing. The essays will be no more than 150 words.
Article Summary and Analysis
In the course of the semester 2 research articles will be provided for you to read, in order for you to learn more about how research is conducted and presented. For each one, you will write a 2-page paper, of which 1 page should be summary and 1 page analysis. Label the two sections clearly as “Summary” and “Analysis.”
More specifically, the papers should include the following information:
1 page summary. What theoretical ideas or research questions inspired the study? What methods were used to investigate the topic? What were the most notable results? What implications do the results have for real life or for future research?
1 page analysis. What were the main strengths of the article? What did you think the authors did especially well in describing or analyzing their results? What were the main weaknesses of the article? What were the limitations or errors in the methods used? What interpretations did the authors make that you think are in error or unjustified or overstated? What was most important and memorable about the study?
Grading
Grading will be discussed at the beginning of the semester.

Each week there will be 2 classes, and each class will be 1 ½ hours long. For each topic, the assigned reading is the textbook chapter in Human Development: A Cultural Approach.
