I am Professor of Childhood Studies and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Children and Childhood Studies, at Rutgers University.

Research

My research focuses on the intersection of personality with adaptation and development. I aim to understand the intersections of neighborhood contexts, successful moral and personality development, and civic engagement.

Service

With Robert Atkins, I founded the STARR Program, now in its thirteenth year, which combines year-round sports, community service, camping, and homework support in order to foster development among youth in one of the poorest cities in America.

Teaching

I teach introductory psychology, adolescent development, child development, and the senior seminar in childhood studies.  Information for students in ongoing courses can be found on the Rutgers University Sakai site (http://sakai.rutgers.edu).
