Bringing visibility to Indigenous children in development science
In April 2021, psychologist Adam Hoffman co-led a virtual roundtable discussion for child development scholars on studying Native American communities. Hoffman, an assistant professor of psychology at Cornell Human Ecology, had written his dissertation about Cherokee youth, and he and other presenters shared the importance of engaging Indigenous groups in the research process.
Afterward, Hoffman wondered how many developmental science papers had actually been written about Indigenous children and youth. After poring through archives of

Alumna develops 3D body-mapping tech to help consumers, the environment
Online shopping for clothing offers consumers convenience but comes with some notable downsides for them and the environment. Size and fit issues often prompt consumers to return the items, which leads to increased carbon costs.
New body-mapping technology developed in the College of Human Ecology’s Department of Human Centered Design (HCD) aims to solve those problems, by improving garment design and fit, while helping customers choose the right size for their unique shape.
“Women typically
