AREA DESCRIPTION AND PHILOSOPHY

The Community area faculty and graduate students share an interest in Urban Health and Community Well-being. We define health broadly to encompass work promoting mental and physical health, as well as healthy social outcomes and remediating negative influences like discrimination. Specifically, our research promotes healthy relationship, group, and community functioning and well-being, with many projects addressing issues relevant to underrepresented and disadvantaged groups. Our work also addresses numerous pressing social issues, including intimate partner violence, prevention of sexual violence and assault, and homelessness. We conduct research in diverse communities and across international contexts that translates into theory development, practical solutions and effective social policy. Our program provides leadership in the national movement of academic-community partnerships, whereby graduate students work together in teams with community partners, faculty members and other collaborators on research projects. In many cases, given the complex nature of social issues we study, our collaborations are interdisciplinary in approach. Through close or collaborative work with diverse community partners, we develop theoretically-based social science intervention research to address important social issues. We share a commitment to research that makes a difference in the world and that situates findings in the context of lived experience. This research examines individuals in their varied social and cultural contexts and settings (i.e., dyads and social groups, organizations, communities, and institutions including their historical practices and current social or legal policies). Such psychological phenomena span multiple levels of analysis and thus require the use of methodologies appropriate to such challenges (e.g., HLM of within and between person changes over time and of individuals embedded in groups; intervention programs or other settings; field experimentation; geographic information systems and mapping; qualitative analysis of individual and community narratives). Thus, our graduate program provides training in a creative mix of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, and theories of the person-in-context. Students in the Community Psychology track study the definition and conceptualization of social problems, social ecology and social systems, models of intervention and change (e.g., empowerment, prevention), human diversity, social support and mutual aid, and sense of community. Students pursue research and action projects in community settings in which these core theories, concepts and methods are applied.
