Center for Equity Promotion (CEQP) would like to invite faculty, staff, and students to the following colloquium:

Parental Incarceration During Childhood, Family Context, and Youth Problem Behavior Across Adolescence
Dr. Jean Kjellstrand, Visiting Assistant Research Professor at the Center for Equity Promotion at the College of Education

[Incarceration can have many negative effects on teenagers.]

Dr. Kjellstrand's presentation will cover her longitudinal research examining the effects of parental incarceration on adolescent development, and her current work on intervention development for criminal justice involved parents and their children.

Brief Bio

Jean Kjellstrand, a visiting assistant research professor from Columbia University School of Social Work, examines the role of key individual, family, and community factors on the development of children with criminal justice involved parents.  Guided by this information, she then works closely with communities to develop preventive interventions which promote positive youth development.  Her goal is to create effective interventions that are affordable, acceptable, and sustainable within existing delivery systems. Before entering academics, Jean was a licensed social worker for over 15 years. During this time she developed and coordinated several individual, group, and community interventions to support and empower children and families in high-risk circumstances.


The colloquium will be held next week May 12, 2015 (Tuesday)
Time: 1:00 - 2:00 pm
Location: HEDCO 230T
Light lunch at 12:45 pm

Please forward to colleagues and students who might be interested.
