Welcome to the SAGE edge site for Lifespan Development in Context, Second Edition!

Lifespan Development in Context: A Topical Approach, Second Edition, by award-winning author Tara L. Kuther, provides a panoramic view of the many influences that shape human development. Organized around three core themes—the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the applied value of developmental science—Kuther illustrates how the places, sociocultural environments, and ways in which we are raised influence who we become and how we grow and change throughout our lives. Case studies, real-world applications, and expanded coverage of diversity through an intersectional lens ignite critical thinking and class discussion, ensuring students have the tools they need to apply course concepts to their lives and future careers.

This site features an array of free resources you can access anytime, anywhere.
