Amy is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development
and Project Director of the John Templeton Foundation (JTF)-funded study,
The Role of Spiritual Development in Growth of Purpose, Generosity, and Psychological Health in Adolescence.
She received a B.A. degree in Psychology from Clark University, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in
Applied Child Development from Tufts University.
Amy is interested in how people come to be compassionate, socially just, and peaceful.
What supports an awareness that 'my life dovetails with yours,' an awareness of our systemic interconnection and oneness?
How do we come to possess a loving and compassionate orientation toward others, especially "different" and distal others,
to honor and respect categorical affiliations and, simultaneously, transcend them to realize our mutual occupation
in the category of humanity? In her dissertation,
Strengthening Human Potential for Great Love–Compassion through Elaborative Development,
Amy sought to elucidate the dynamic developmental processes that lead to great love-compassion
(i.e., love and compassion toward the whole, as opposed to a part, of humanity).
She is particularly interested in the role that parents and educators play in nurturing such development and,
as well, in how social policies and popular beliefs shape these roles.
