Lisa,Bowman-Perrott,Associate Professor,"Dr. Lisa Bowman-Perrott's research spans special education, bilingual education, and school psychology and focuses on academic and behavioral interventions for students with or at-risk for emotional and behavioral disorders. As an extension of her work implementing interventions in schools, Dr. Bowman-Perrott examines the efficacy of various interventions through meta-analysis. Her meta-analytic work has allowed her to move beyond investigating whether a given intervention is effective to examining what aspects of interventions moderate their effectiveness, and determine for which students they are most effective. Students with or at-risk for EBD have been the primary focus of her meta-analytic work.",Associate Professor,Educational Psychology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n1b86387c

Research projects include, ""An Interdisciplinary Education Model Applied to an Interprofessional Health Care Ethics Course,"" ""Learning Together: An Interprofessional Program for Medical and Nursing Students Visiting Wards of the Court,"" ""Interprofessional Education in a Healthcare Ethics Course,"" and ""A Faculty Development Collaborative to Support the Use of Interprofessional Simulation in Central Texas"". Dr. Bentley has presented findings on interprofessional programs and simulation as well as barriers to interprofessional education at conferences which have included the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Conference on Medical Student Education, Association for the Behavioral Sciences and Medical Education, National League for Nursing's Education Summit, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing Baccalaureate Education Conference.","Faculty Fellow||Assistant Vice Chancellor, TAMUS||Clinical Associate Professor - Term Appointment",Center for Health Systems and Design||The Texas A&M University System||School of Nursing,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n484a29ed
Michelle,Lawing,Associate Professor,"Dr. Lawing is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology. She is primarily interested in using methods and models from modern ecology and evolutionary biology combined with evidence from the fossil record to inform our understanding of how species and communities respond to environmental change through time. Her work includes the investigation of geographic, evolutionary, and morphological responses of species and communities to environmental changes in the Late Pleistocene and throughout the Miocene to present. She is involved in developing species distribution models (SDM), geometric morphometric methods (GMM), and phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM). Before becoming an Assistant Professor, Dr. Lawing was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS). She earned a PhD double major in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior and in Geological Sciences from Indiana University, Bloomington.",Associate Professor,Ecology and Conservation Biology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n4d1c74b5

Alison,Pittman,Clinical Assistant Professor,"My research interests center on promotion of health and well-being among children and families. My doctoral research focused on developing an intervention for middle school children to improve physical activity and health. This program of study has set the framework for further examination of methods to improve health outcomes for this vulnerable age group and find reliable methods for reversing the trend toward childhood obesity. I have worked as a pediatric nurse in inpatient, critical care, and community settings for over 20 years, and I feel my scholarship and experience has prepared me well for future contributions to this field of study. I have observed the challenges that children and families have in staying healthy together, and I see the need a voice and advocate to speak to approaches to wellness that are not just proven but realistic for busy families to take on. I am committed to furthering research efforts to improve the quality of life for children and families.
I am very interested in developing an interprofessional center for improving health care care for LGBT and questioning youth and young adults.",Clinical Assistant Professor,School of Nursing,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n61ed10b3

Pat,(Antonio) Rubio Goldsmith,Professor and Interim Head,"I study Latinx, race, education, school/neighborhood segregation, immigration and state violence. I have published research in some of the top journals in sociology and education, including Sociology of Education, Social Forces, Social Problems and the American Educational Research Journal. I am currently studying how well the spatial assimilation theory accounts for the residential attainment of young Latinx; how the immigration status of Mexican immigrant parents affects their children's educational attainment, and how theories of racialization and assimilation account for variation in Latinx achievement in new and traditional destinations.",Associate Professor,Sociology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n7324fcbe
Jeffrey,Gagne,Associate Professor,"I received my B.A. in Psychology (Boston College), Master's Degrees in Counseling and Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Developmental Science (all graduate degrees at Boston University). I was then a postdoctoral trainee at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and from 2011-2017 an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am broadly interested in child temperament, emotion, cognition, education and health. Much of my work incorporates genetic and/or biological approaches. For the past decade, I have been studying the development of child self-control from a multi-method, multi-theoretical perspective. In 2012, I began the TEXAS Family Study (TFS) with 200 preschool-aged siblings and their families, focusing on child self-control, socio-emotional development, and psychopathology, and several parent/family traits. Recently, we completed a longitudinal follow-up of the TFS children as they transition to elementary school. At Texas A&M, I am an Associate Professor, Ph.D. Program Coordinator in Developmental Sciences (DS), Associate Department Head for Research and Faculty Development in the Educational Psychology Department (EPSY), and Administrative Fellow for Texas A&M University Faculty Affairs. My current research program includes the TFS and a multi-method study of self-control and related traits in three-year-olds that incorporates behavioral, emotional, cognitive and neurophysiological measures with colleagues in ESPY and Psychology (The Early Self-Control Development and School Readiness Study; SCD Study). We are also currently conducting a study on how COVID-19 has affected preschooler development.",Associate Professor,Educational Psychology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n7b76fe8b
