Teaching

Dr. Munro-Kramer has developed the first undergraduate elective course at the University of Michigan focused on gender-based violence, Gender-Based Violence: From Theory to Action (HS 404/WS 404). The course is cross-listed to include students from across campus and incorporates lectures as well as experiential hours where students apply the principles from the course by attending community events and trainings related to gender-based violence. She also does regular guest lectures on screening for intimate partner violence in practice, sexually transmitted infections, and postpartum care.

She is also committed to educating practicing clinicians about gender-based violence. In collaboration with a group of interdisciplinary colleagues from the University of Michigan and University of Maryland, she helped create a massive open online course (MOOC), Intimate Partner Violence (IPV): Interprofessional Strategies for Prevention and Response. As part of the University of Michigan Human Trafficking Collaborative, she also co-developed a continuing education module on human trafficking for healthcare providers, Addressing Human Trafficking in Healthcare Settings.

Marie-Anne Sanon Rosemberg is accepting new PhD students.

Interests

  • Occupational Health Disparities & Occupational Justice
  • Worker & Immigrant Health
  • Biological & Behavior Responses to Stressors
  • Chronic Disease Outcomes
  • Socioegological Stressors

Dr. Rosemberg’s program of  research focuses on addressing occupational health disparities and inequities among youth and adult working populations at risk for or experiencing one or multiple chronic conditions.

Her unique contribution addresses the significant gap in science related to mitigating socioecological stressors (work and non-work) and remediating the associated pathophysiologic (e.g. Allostatic Load) and maladaptive behavioral responses, and tertiary outcomes (i.e. chronic diseases) among vulnerable workers. Her work has clinical impact for public health, occupational and environmental health, and nursing to mitigate loss preventions among workers and organizations.

Dr. Rosemberg uses innovative qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand the mechanisms through which socioecological stressors affect physical, mental, and behavioral responses among at-risks workers. Dr. Rosemberg’s work cuts across various industries (e.g. hospitality and nail) and worker groups in the US workforce including women, youth, low-wage, immigrant, and service workers.

Denise Saint Arnault is accepting new PhD students.

Interests

  • Women’s mental health
  • Immigrant women
  • Culture and mental health
  • Gender specific mental health risks
  • Transcultural psychiatry

Dr. Saint Arnault’s research centers on gender, cultural and social influences on mental health, trauma recovery, and help seeking. She develops and tests her Cultural Determinants of Help Seeking theory in research with women in the U.S., Ireland, Japan, Brazil, Italy and Portugal. In this research, she uses mixed methods to discover how distress experiences, culturally based meanings (such as stigma and sense of coherence), social support, and social negativity impact the help seeking journey. Her Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interview (CENI) provides a transcultural method that allows people to explore the cultural and social influences in their search for health, and also promotes self-awareness and active engagement in the  help-seeking process. She also examines cultural factors that influence meaning, expectation, and expression of depression. She examines the importance of physical as well as emotional symptom experience for people from a variety of cultures. In addition, Dr. Saint Arnault focuses on the impact of gender-based trauma on mental health, functioning and quality of life. She is currently researching mind-body and culturally tailored interventions to promote mental and physical health for women from a variety of cultures.

Julia Seng is not accepting new PhD students.

Interests

  • Posttraumatic stress
  • Childbearing outcomes
  • Oxytocin
  • Childhood abuse trauma
  • Midwifery

Dr. Seng’s research focuses on the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on women’s health and childbearing. Her projects approach this topic from a variety of perspectives.  She used qualitative, participatory action research to understand women's experiences and to inform intervention development.  Epidemiological analyses have established that PTSD is associated with pregnancy complications and worse physical health across the lifespan for women.  Clinical studies currently are examining neuroendocrine pathways that link PTSD to preterm birth, lower birth weight, and pregnancy complications.  Implementation study of a psychoeducation program for women with abuse-related PTSD, known as the “Survivor Moms’ Companion” is underway.

Current Research Grants and Programs

  • Trauma-informed Practice Certificate for Prospective Teachers, Social Workers, and Nursing. Whitaker Award, Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. Role: Co-I. This project will develop and pilot a professional mini-certificate in trauma-informed practice and leadership for education, nursing, and social work students.
  • Survivor Moms’ Companion (SMC) Perinatal Intervention/ NY Implementation. Health Foundation of Western and Central New York. Role: Co-I. This project advances the Survivor Moms’ Companion intervention through the ‘installation’ phase of implementation with champion sites in Melbourne, Boston, and Buffalo. The funding also supports the website and book design costs.
  • Testing the Survivor Mums’ Companion as part of Blackpool’s Better Start. Centre for Early Childhood Development / NSPCC / Blackpool. Role: PI. This is a hybrid effectiveness-implementation science study conducted in the city of Blackpool, England. The implementing organization (and funder) is the UK’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Our university partner for the effectiveness component is the University of Birmingham.
