The first time I spoke with Professor Darcia Narvaez was almost three years ago, back when I was first beginning to do interviews for this podcast. A great deal has changed and happened since then, not only with my work specifically, but in the world at large. In contemplating the roots of the fragmented, disruptive responses the novel coronavirus pandemic has generated, I felt compelled to reconnect with Prof. Narvaez to discuss her insights into this subject. This includes an examination of the contemporary, common child-rearing practices in the West (specifically the United States), and how this informs the ideologies/belief systems people attach themselves to in states of crisis and uncertainty, such as ours. 

Darcia Narvaez PhD is a Professor of Psychology at Notre Dame University and the author and editor of numerous books, including ‘Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom’ and ‘Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom: First-Nation Know-How for Global Flourishing.’ She also writes regularly for Psychology Today with her ‘Moral Landscapes’ column, which explores her work with parenting, child development, self-development, and morality. Her prior careers include professional musician, classroom music teacher, business owner, seminarian and middle school Spanish teacher. Her current research explores how early life experience influences societal culture, wellbeing and sociomoral character in children and adults. She integrates neurobiological, clinical, developmental and education sciences in her theories and research about human nature and human development. She publishes extensively on moral development, parenting and education.
