Ann Mastergeorge, PhD, is a Rockwell Endowed Professor in Human Development and Family Sciences in the College of Health and Human Sciences and Associate Vice Provost in Outreach and Engagement. She has expertise in early developmental trajectories and is a developmental scholar who studies health disparities, the impact of poverty on developmental outcomes, and prevention and early intervention strategies and outcomes for young children at developmental risk. She has published numerous papers in substantive areas related to early social communication, environmental and biological impacts on early brain development, school readiness, and the impact of parenting on developmental outcomes for young children. Melissa A. Barnett, PhD, is a professor in human development and family science and is the Norton Endowed Chair in Fathers, Parenting and Families at the University of Arizona. She is the director of the Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth and Families, which applies research to support child and family resilience. Her research examines how contextual risks and assets influence caregiver-child relationships, multigenerational well-being, and early childhood development, with a focus on poverty and other forms of adversity. The ultimate goal of this work is to inform practices and policies to promote health and well-being among young children and their caregivers.
