Project on gay fathers and their children
Ellen Perrin (NEMC), Erin Phelps (E-P), and Ellen Pinderhughes (E-P)
are working on a collaborative research project on gay fathers and
their children. Ellen Perrin has published widely on gay parents and
the effects of experiences of stigma on development. Erin Phelps is
working actively in the area of positive and healthy youth development
and is expert in quantitative and qualitative methods. Ellen
Pinderhughes' work is focused on contextual and cultural influences on
family socialization processes, especially among families with
children at risk for problematic outcomes, and on adoption and foster
care.
Current tasks are to enter and analyze qualitative and quantitative
information from 10 families to provide pilot data for further work.
We are looking for graduate students to work with us, as directed
research for course credit.
This is an opportunity to be involved in research at the ground level
and can lead to future opportunities for graduate student
assistantships and publications if proposals are successfully funded.
Please contact Erin Phelps if you are interested in pursuing this
opportunity or if you just have questions about the project.
