Exploring societal views and values toward embracing the fundamental interconnections between humans and the more-than-human across disciplines
Towards a global theory of child development

Reimagining Values as Cross-Level Intelligence
Investigating values as a form of cross-level intelligence emerging from interaction rather than residing solely within individuals.
