Early Social Development Lab

In this episode, we interview Dr. Chris Moore. He’s a developmental psychologist with the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Dalhousie University. His long-standing research interest examines social understanding and behaviour in early childhood.

Outside of his research, he spent the last 12 years as Dalhousie’s Dean of Science. Now that his period as Dean has come to an end, he’s exploring a new phase of his career with a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Non-Fiction at the University of King’s College.

This episode covers Dr. Moore’s path to psychology, the creativity needed to research little kids’ behaviours in the lab, and his new direction as a science communication author.
