Laura K. Taylor (PHD @lauraktaylorPHD) is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at University College Dublin and the Principal Investigator of the Helping Kids! lab (@HelpingKidsLab). She integrates developmental and social psychology with peace studies to examine positive development and social inclusion among children and youth in conflict-affected settings, such as Colombia, Croatia, Kosovo, Israel, Republic of North Macedonia, and Northern Ireland. She uses the Developmental Peacebuilding Model (Taylor, 2020) to study how multiple factors (e.g., family, school, nation) influence child development. Laura also focuses on children’s and youth’s agency, more specifically, how outgroup prosociality toward conflict rivals may be contribute to peacebuilding.
