Research Assistant Professor, Center for Healthy Minds

Dan's program of community-engaged, mixed methods research seeks to promote the wellbeing of people and communities impacted by incarceration, as well as those who work in the criminal legal system. He leads the Cultivating Justice CoLaboratory, a community-academic partnership that integrates academic and lived expertise in developing and evaluating peer-facilitated and strength-based wellbeing interventions. He also collaborates with criminal legal system partners to develop strategies for implementing these interventions in real-world contexts and studying the impact on all those whose lives are impacted by incarceration. Dan’s research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, the National Institute of Justice, the Mind & Life Institute, and the UW-Madison Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
