Hopewell Hodges

H.R. Hodges is pursuing her PhD in clinical and developmental psychology at the Institute for Child Development. Her undergraduate and masters degree focused on post-violence literature and collective resilience practices. She is particularly interested in interventions that bolster locally available resources that already contribute to collective and individual health, especially practices that boost the ecological wellbeing of children and families. In the long term, she hopes to partner with communities of diverse cultural backgrounds to design more effective and culturally appropriate trauma treatments. Her primary research is with Dr. Gail Ferguson and Dr. Ann Masten.
