Tyler Jamison received a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Missouri in 2012. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire, where she teaches classes on adult development, human services fieldwork, and race, class, and gender in families. Her research focuses on romantic relationship development and dissolution, particularly during emerging adulthood. She also studies the relationship between socioeconomic status and family processes, including union formation, cohabitation, and parenting. Her most recent work uses mixed-method interviews to explore adults’ relationship histories. She has served as a community educator and consultant for programs that promote healthy relationships and parenting among vulnerable families including divorcing couples and low-income, unmarried, and teen parents.
