Philosophy Statement:
I identify myself as a Family Ecologist with an interest in the economic and policy contexts of family life. Professionally, my goal is to apply the knowledge and skills I have acquired to efforts directed at enhancing the well-being of children and families. I am particularly interested in conducting research serving children and families that have somehow been marginalized by society. Specifically, I focus on women and children from rural working-poor families who confront both family-level and community-level economic constraints characteristic of the rural working-poor context. Because I approach child and family issues ecologically, my attention is focused on how context influences the processes ocurring within families and the associated individual- and family-level outcomes. My ecological approach is integrated throughout my teaching, my research, and the outreach work that I do.
