Congratulations to Assistant Professor Rhonda Nese, PhD, who was selected by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (OVPRI) for the 2022 Outstanding Early Career Award. Outstanding Research Award winners will be recognized at an event this fall.
We sat down with Dr. Jean Kjellstrand, who heads the University of Oregonβs Criminal Justice Lab, about what motivates her for this work. We are grateful for her leadership and her passion for helping children and families impacted within the carceral system.
@NewsJedi2022 Absolutely! Finding ways to support kids who are affected by incarceration is crucial. Part of devising strategies is gaining a better understanding of how they are affected, so that appropriate interventions can be implemented. That includes bolstering the foster care system.
