lliot Turiel teaches courses on human development and its relation to education. He holds the title of Jerome A. Hutto Professor of Education, is an affiliate in the Department of Psychology, and is currently Co-Director of the Institute of Human Development. His research focuses on social and moral development, with an emphasis on domains of judgments the relations of morality and culture, and opposition and resistance to cultural practices perceived as unjust. He studies ways children, adolescents, and adults attempt to counter inequalities (such as those based on gender) with overt and covert activities aimed at changing and subverting practices that favor those in positions of power in the social hierarchy. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and a National Institute of Mental Health Fellow. His most recent books are The Culture of Morality: Social Development, Context, and Conflict, Cambridge University Press (2002), and Social Development, Social, Inequalities, and Social Justice (edited with C. Wainryb and J. Smetana, Erlbaum Publishers, 2007). His many other publications include "The Development of Morality" in Handbook of Child Psychology (2006); "Thought, Emotions, and Social Interactional Processes in Moral Development" in Handbook of Moral Development; and "To Lie or not to Lie: To Whom and Under what Circumstances" in Child Development (with S. Perkins, 2007).
