However, teachers in one country may respond differently than their international counterparts.
Jared Noetzel, doctoral candidate in the school psychology program, is leading a dissertation study on culturally responsive teacher training to prevent bullying in schools.
For new mothers, returning to work often means deciding whether to continue breastfeeding. But systemic barriers often make it difficult to do so.
To explore the relationship between breastfeeding and returning to work, Kailey Snyder, assistant professor in the School of Health & Kinesiology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, partnered with the Nebraska Academy for Methodology, Analytics and Psychometrics (MAP Academy) to examine a decade’s worth of national lactation data.

Family dynamics among caregivers tend to be complicated. They can become even more complex when grandparents take on coparenting roles.
Weiman Xu, graduate research assistant at the Nebraska Academy for Methodology, Analytics and Psychometrics (MAP Academy) and a doctoral student in the Global Family Health and Well-being program within the Department of Child, Youth and Family Studies, is exploring the association between intergenerational coparenting and children’s social-emotional development.
For 20 years, the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools has been committed to one core mission: Make a positive difference in people’s lives through research in the social, behavioral and educational sciences.
There will be a special event Nov. 19 to celebrate CYFS’ 20th anniversary and recognize the vibrant, interdisciplinary research community that has contributed to the center’s mission since its founding in 2004.
