how idiosyncratic are children?

[Roberta Golinkoff]

Thanks Phil! Look forward to reading this!

And while I have everyone's attention the University of Delaware has TWO
jobs open in areas such as language/literacy/English language
learners/writing.  I am attaching the two PDFs that describe the positions
and would be thrilled if you or your best students apply for these jobs.
The University of Delaware is a great place to work. One job is a named
professorship for an early career scholar; the other is for a tenure-track
assistant professor.

All best and have a great holiday all!
