Darcia Narvaez (Pronunciation: DAR-sha Narv-EYES)

by Matt Cashore University of Notre Dame
I am a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame who focuses on moral development and flourishing from an interdisciplinary perspective. I am especially interested in how early life experience and societal culture interact to influence wellbeing and virtuous character in children and adults.
I integrate neurobiological, clinical, developmental and education sciences in my theories, research and writing about human flourishing, morality and human development. How do we bring about wellbeing in everyone, including our non-human kin?
I have identified
-
The Evolved Nest as a millions-year-old heritage of ancestral wisdom critical for forming the foundations of health, wellbeing, sociality and morality
-
Triune-ethics meta-theory (TEM) as a framework for how moral mindsets can shift or become dispositional from experience
-
Integrative ethical education (via RAVES: relationship, apprenticeship, virtue exemplars, ethical expertise, self-authorship)
-
The critical need for Indigenous wisdom for fostering human flourishing and optimal moral functioning (relational attunement and communal imagination).
