Dr. Jović’s research concerns socio-cognitive development among children and youth in challenging contexts, including poverty, migration, cultural diversity, and integration. Dr. Jović studies the effects inequality has on development from the perspective of human potential and resilience, rather than a deficit-oriented perspective. Through acknowledging the detrimental effects of the socioeconomic (and political) challenges that many adolescents—especially the underrepresented—experience, Dr. Jović’s work emphasizes the socio-cognitive advantages that young people growing up in adversity acquire. Grounded in sociocultural psychology, which asserts that being a person is fundamentally a social transaction, Dr. Jović’s research recognizes that human nature is not fixed, but rather arises out of changing social conditions that it, in turn, produces. Moving away from individualistic and decontextualized notions of human development, Dr. Jović’s work situates psychological processes as relational and socioculturally embedded. Dr. Jović employ narrative and discourse as research tools for studying the relationship between sociocultural context and individuals.
