The Unit has been in existence for the past 25 years. Its members,
found below, are from different departments at Tel Aviv University,
such as the: School of Education, Psychology Department, Linguistics
Department, History Department, Department of Communications
Disorders, and Department of Literature. What unites us is our abiding
interest in issues related to development.
Among its past activities were: an annual workshop that resulted in a
book series (The Tel Aviv Annual Workshop in Human Development) that
was published by Ablex Publishing Corporation and an annual lecture in
memory of Dr. Tamar Globerson, one of the Unit members.
An activity that has continued over the past quarter of a century has
been a weekly colloquium that brought leading scholars and scientists
from Israel and abroad to speak about their current work. The topics
are diverse, ranging from the development of the development of
cities, the development of the universe, as well as child development
in domains such as language, cognition, social development, emotional
development, motor development, non-normative development, and more.
