À propos des auteurs

Ingrid Schoon is Professor of Human Development and Social Policy at the Institute of Education, University of London. Her research interests focus on issues of human development across the life-span - in particular, the transition from dependent childhood to productive adulthood; the study of risk and resilience; the realization of individual potential in a changing socio-historical context; social equalities in attainment, health, and well-being; and the intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantage. Schoon is currently involved in two major UK interdisciplinary research networks funded by the Economic and Research Council: the Priority Network on Gender Inequality and Production (GeNet) and the Centre for the Study of Learning and Life Chances in the Knowledge Economies (Llakes). She is also Director of PATHWAYS: an International Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme for the Comparative Study of Productive Youth Development, funded by the Jacobs Foundation, in collaboration with colleagues from the Universities of Michigan, Stockholm, Helsinki, Jena, and the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. She has published widely, including her recent publication with Cambridge University Press, Risk and Resilience: Adaptations in Changing Times.
