Date Time New Study Informs Research on Child Development and Learning in Conflict-Affected Areas A new analysis of existing research by Global TIES for Children, a research center supported by the NYU Abu Dhabi Research Institute and NYU New York, offers insights for developing more impactful studies and programs. To provide effective aid to children who live in areas of conflict it is necessary to understand precisely how they have been impacted by the crises around them. One area of importance is the effect of conflict and trauma on a child’s development and education. In a new research article, Global TIES for Children researchers J. Lawrence Aber, Carly Tubbs Dolan, Ha Yeon Kim, and Lindsay Brown, present a review of opportunities and challenges they have encountered in designing and conducting rigorous research that advances our understanding of this effect. Global TIES for Children, an international research center based at NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU New York, generates evidence to support the most effective humanitarian and development aid to promote children’s academic and socio-emotional learning.
