From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles M. Super Professor of Human Development & Family Studies at University of Connecticut.[1] He has held academic appointments at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health. He has directed or participated in research projects on early human development and family life in the Netherlands, Kenya, Zambia, Guatemala, Colombia, Haiti, and Bangladesh, as well as the United States. He has won a Distinguished Service Award from the University of Connecticut School of Family Studies Alumni Association.
Super was member of the 1970 White House Conference on Children, his writings have been published in psychological, anthropological, and medical journals.
Like others in his field of study, Super holds that even within a given society, different cognitive characteristics are emphasized from one situation to another and from one subculture to another. These differences extend not just to conceptions of intelligence but to what is considered adaptive or appropriate in a broader sense.[2] Super calls for culturally- and contextually-based models of human development.
