Bertranna Muruthi Bio

Dr. Bertranna Muruthi completed her master's degree in Family and Child Studies at Miami University of Ohio and her doctoral degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Georgia.


Her research uses culturally responsive community based collaborative methods. This strength-based model is used to look at the family as the unit of analysis within the context of communities and the community based organizations that serve them. As such, family needs, and resilient strategies are understood at a systemic level. She incorporates community culture, knowledge, and practices throughout her research with the aim of producing culturally effective programming that leads to community transformation and social change. There are three main research areas she addresses to develop her program of research: (a) migration, resettlement, and transnationalism of documented and undocumented immigrants; (b) predictors of risk and resilient behavior in immigrant families and; (c) development of intervention and prevention programming for immigrant families.
