New Beginnings: Research with Zayed and CSU, Chico Chris Coughlin arrived as a new faculty member in Child Development from Zayed University. She had a great idea about collaborative research with Zayed University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Children’s Views of War and Peace Students in Chico and Dubai interviewed children about their views of war and peace. Some amazing similarities and differences were clear. This was the research team.
