Joyce Y. Lee

PhD Student. Psychology - Developmental Candidate

Research Interests/Focus

Joyce has three broad research interests: (1) studying father involvement and father-child relationships among low-income families using a family systems perspective; (2) developing and implementing technology-based parent education programs that are inclusive of fathers; and (3) examining the role of the father in preventing child maltreatment early on. Her aim is to triangulate these three areas of research to promote father involvement, positive parenting, and child development and wellbeing. Joyce’s research is rooted in her experience working with low-income families and their children in a community-based youth empowerment program, as well as ongoing clinical work with a wide range of fathers (e.g., fathers with an alleged history of child maltreatment, primary caregiver fathers, low-income fathers). Joyce is currently a licensed clinical social worker in the State of Michigan. She uses her clinical experiences and skills to inform research, and vice versa.
