This paper cross-culturally explores the ways children in the U.S. and South Korea are socialized to use culturally specific concepts of social categories. Through detailed descriptions and analysis of everyday preschool interactions in two cultures, the paper examines the roles children’s peer culture and teachers’ everyday socialization inputs can have in the reproduction and perpetuation of knowledge, ideas, and proclivities regarding social categories
