Sheina Lew-Levy

Associate Professor, Department of Psychology

Using methods from anthropology and psychology, I conduct research in hunter-gatherer societies to understand the cultural diversity in childhood learning. Specifically, I use quantitative and qualitative methods to study how and from whom children learn through meaningful participation in everyday activities. Since 2016, I work with egalitarian BaYaka foragers and their farmer neighbours in the Congo Basin. With Forager Child Studies, the interdisciplinary research team I co-founded and co-direct, I conduct cross-cultural reviews and secondary data analysis on the pasts, presents, and futures of forager children’s learning.
