A New Associate Director for CFR

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Sierra Carter, Associate Professor of Psychology at Georgia State University, is joining the faculty of UGA’s Department of Psychology and will become the next  associate director of CFR. Her appointment begins in August.  

Dr. Carter is a leader in studying health disparities and how the effects of discrimination and racism play out in the health of Black Americans. She has worked with some of our CFR-affiliated scholars in the past and is poised to lead CFR in our continued efforts to study how families and individuals thrive in the face of stress from social and environmental stressors like racism and poverty.
