My interest in psychology continues...
I am doing a final project (Independent Study Unit, as Canadians call it) for my World History class, and I have discovered something so interesting!
The topic I have chosen is Sabina Spielrein, who was a patient of both Freud and Jung. I plan on discussing the importance of women in the advancement of psychology, along with her specific contributions. What I cam across, though, is that she worked with Jean Piaget.
Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel and actually studied here at the University (the Lycée Jean-Piaget) that is right by my school! He studied epistemology in relation to children, and actually developed the theory of genetic epistemology. I just think this is so cool!
He once said, "only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual."
I agree :)
It made me realize that maybe it would be amazing if someday I came back to Neuchâtel to study his theories at the school he went to... or even better, I could start looking into it now! What a small world...

I think your love of little kids also aligns with Piaget's life-long interest in children and their cognitive development. How fun it would be to learn more about that...
