Core Faculty<\/h4>\n

Program Director:<\/strong> Linda L. Barnes, PhD, MTS, MA
\nProgram Assistant Director:<\/strong> Lance Laird, ThD, MDiv<\/p>\n

The program draws primarily on the expertise of its core faculty (Barnes, Laird, Ready, and Ostrach), who work on a range of theoretical, ethnographic, and applied initiatives. Second, we build on strong relationships between our faculty, and program directors and faculty in the School of Public Health and in the Charles River Campus Departments of Religion, Anthropology, and Sociology. We work closely, as well, with the Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Premedical Studies and Prehealth Programs at BU. We are in the process of furthering connections with the School of Management.<\/p>\n

Each entering student is assigned a major adviser from within MACCP, who\u00a0 helps them design a program tailored to their intellectual, personal, and professional goals, and continues to advise them throughout their two-year program. The adviser assists the student in locating additional mentors specializing in the student\u2019s research\u00a0interests and career goals. By the end of the second semester, students are expected to select a third reader, whose expertise is directly related to the student\u2019s research focus, and who will\u00a0serve on their thesis committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
