Adolescence in Context

Adolescence in Context by award-winning author Tara L. Kuther is a topically oriented text that connects learners to the science shaping our understanding of today’s teenagers and young adults. Organized around three core themes—the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the applied value of developmental science—the text presents classic and current research, along with foundational theories, framed in real-life intersectional contexts such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, ability, and socioeconomic status. With the new Second Edition, students can expect to gain a deeper understanding of adolescence that they can apply to their personal lives and future careers.
