Handbook — manuscript completed; publication arrangements in progress.

My research continues to focus on psychological well-being in childhood and adolescence, with particular interest in how well-being is shaped by developmental, social, cultural, and material contexts. This work is informed by a eudaimonic perspective and by an interest in developing culturally responsive approaches to understanding and supporting children's and young people's well-being.
