Room 2 - Dr. Ann Easterbrooks

• In Event: Thursday Afternoon Chat with Leaders

Abstract

I am an applied developmental scientist whose work focuses on the individual, relational, familial, and broader contextual characteristics that present challenges and opportunities for developmental thriving among infants, young children, and parents. My work embraces a bioecological approach to understanding the mutual relations between people and their contexts. I work within a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with investigators and students using both basic and applied research frameworks with the aim of fostering the integration of research, policy, and practice. My goal is to conduct research that can be translated into programs and policies that will enhance the lives of diverse children and their families. I direct the Tufts Interdisciplinary Evaluation Research (TIER) lab at Tufts University.
