Areas of Specialization: Socio-cultural Influences on Development; High Risk Populations; Minority Populations: Infant Development; Mother-Infant Interactions Presently, my scholarship is largely focused on the role of race and ethnicity on children's development. It is my position that much of our prevalent theoretical and empirical work falls short in delineating the mechanisms by which contextual forces influence families and children of color. Specifically, I have been working on the role of culture, acculturation, and different sources of oppression (i.e., poverty, racism, and discrimination) in shaping human development.
