Educational Research & Psychology Program Faculty
Students admitted to the Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Research are assigned a faculty advisor whose area of research most closely matches students' interests. The role of the faculty advisor is to assist students in planning their course sequence offer guidance and mentorship, and support students' transition to the University of Kansas and graduate study. While every incoming student is initially assigned an advisor, students may choose to switch to another advisor if their research interests better match those of another faculty member in Educational Psychology and Research.
Faculty research areas include:
- Behavior Management in School Settings
- Bullying Prevention and Intervention
- Development of Political and Civic Engagement
- Group Identity and Intergroup Attitudes
- Learning in Out-of-School-Time (OST) programs
- Positive Youth/Adolescent Development
- Program Evaluation
- Item Response Theory
