Area of Discipline / Professional Expertise
  • School psychology
Research
  • Gender and the educational process. With colleagues, I have written several articles about sexual harassment. Some of my students are doing research about school-based bullying and gender issues in bullying.
  • Several of my recent manuscript publications have addressed screening for emotional and behavioral disorders in early adolescent youth. I am working with other colleagues to develop a school-wide screening process for emotional and behavioral problems in the early teen years.
