Our graduate students take great pride in the work that they share with the academic community!
During the 2021-2022 academic year, UConn HDFS graduate students began traveling again to disseminate their research. In fact, between virtual and in-person conferences, our students presented over 45 research presentations around the country, from New Haven to Puerto Rico to Washington, and around the world, including in Ireland and Greece. They also have more than 90 publications in books and journals from a range of disciplines, including adolescent development, family sciences, cultural psychology, public health, and gender and sexuality studies.
