Early Education Stephanie Jones in Conversation with Faculty Affiliate Amanda Guyer
In this podcast, visiting scholar Stephanie Jones and Amanda
Guyer, a UC Davis Associate Professor of Human Development and
Family Studies, discuss the long-term impacts of poverty and
violence on social and emotional development in a conversation
that ranges from classroom interventions to cross-disciplinary
research into non-cognitive skills.
Jones is the Marie and Max Kargman Associate Professor in Human
Development and Urban Education Advancement at Harvard
University’s School of Education. Her research focuses on the
long-term impacts of poverty and violence on social and emotional
development. She is a Principal Investigator of a multi-year
experimental evaluation of the school-based four-Rs Program,
which is designed to integrate social and emotional learning with
literacy development.
Dr. Guyer’s research focuses on the behavioral and neural
mechanisms that may underlie the way that adolescents think and
feel. One overarching question throughout her research is how
does attentional focus modulate the brain circuitry involved in
emotional responding?
