Family Roundtable Cluster
Our Mission
The mission of the Family Roundtable Cluster is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty, students, and others concerned with the health and well-being of families, broadly defined. Professionals engaged in scholarly and clinical work with families come together each month to provide feedback on projects that advance the understanding of family research methods and findings. Participants include faculty, fellows, and students from the Department of Psychiatry, Division of Family Programs, the School of Nursing, Genetics, Adolescent Medicine, and the Psychology Department, among others.
We aim to promote interdisciplinary work among several centers including The Wynne Center for Family Research (Psychiatry), The Center for High Risk Children and Youth (Nursing), the Mt. Hope Family Center (Psychology) and others. Of note, several members of our cluster (Fals-Stewart, Klosterman, Lam, McMahon, Tuttle) are involved with the newly funded Developmental Center for AIDS Research (D-CFAR), clearly an interdisciplinary program.
Meeting Schedule
We currently meet virtually on the first Tuesday of each month during the academic year, from 9-10 a.m. At least twice each year, we bring in experts from around the world to lead discussions about emerging issues in family studies.
