Barbara Mowder, PhD was hired as a tenured, Full Professor at Pace University-NYC in 1988. She was given the charge of facilitating the PsyD program (the first PsyD program approved by the New York State Education Department in 1979) toward accreditation by the American Psychological Association (APA). All the while she was successful (the PsyD program was fully accredited in 1989 and remained so through her (over) three decades time as the Program Director), she was focused on research. At Pace, her research involved the exploration of parenting with the goal of writing a book for parents on children’s development and their related parenting needs. In the course of this work, she envisioned the Parent Development Theory, constructed a number of psychometrically strong parent assessment measures, developed a parenting program (the Working With Parents Manual: WWPM), and continued writing and research in this area.

During her time at Pace, she lead three People-to-People delegations of psychologists to South Africa, China, and Russia. In addition, she was involved in numerous accreditation visits to doctoral programs in psychology across the United States as well as in Canada and became a Fellow of the APA in three divisions: School Psychology, International Psychology, and Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. She has consistently written and researched parenting, making presentations at national and international conferences in the United States as well as in Europe (e.g., England, Portugal, Slovakia) and Asia (e.g., Borneo, China, India). Currently, she and her research team, the Parent-Child Institute, are working on developmentally sensitive parenting workshops (e.g., Parenting Infants/Toddlers, Parenting Preschool Aged Children) and will be presenting their research materials at the International School Psychology Association conference in Coimbra, Portugal this summer in July.

Lately he has been spending time researching and fulfilling a three-book contract on the cutting-edge topics of: understanding the anti-wisdom of toxic groups and cults, creating a meta-map of the evolving management field, and examining decision making across cultures at critical ‘turning points’ of the life course. He is also developing programs and methodologies for enhancing wisdom in general and wise leadership in particular. 

Anne Toomey, PhD (Environmental Studies and Science, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) Science with Impact How to Engage People, Change Practice, and Influence Policy (Island Press, 2024).

Will you please just listen to me? Have you ever wondered why fact-based explanations of ground-breaking scientific research don’t always change minds or behaviors? Do you want your research to matter to society? In her recent book, Professor Toomey argues that science today faces a public-relations crisis, and she calls for a whole-scale change in how scientists engage with the world. This book is a guide for the scientific community and its allies to rebuild public trust in science during a time when who we are, and what we do, is increasingly under fire.

Science with Impact How to Engage People, Change Practice, and Influence Policy won the 2025 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner for the category of Relationships & Communication.

Melanie LaRosa’s, MFA (Media & Communication Arts, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) documentary How To Power A City was long in the process of being made but the wait was worth it as the reach has been both enormous and precise. The film was nominated for four awards, including Best Feature Documentary by the Arctic Film Festival, a UN-related festival in Svalbard, Norway, and it has screened to acclaim at festivals in the U.S., Canada, and Italy. 

It also screened by invitation at several industry-specific conferences including CleanMed, the American Public Health Association national conference, and Virtual Island Summit, and is available for educational distribution through New Day Films. 



How To Power A City is available through the PBS Passport. Passport is similar to Amazon Prime for PBS, and you make a small donation to your local PBS to watch the content. With PBS at risk of losing its funding, and it has never been a better time to support their work as they are best place to see independent, high-quality films like How To Power A City.

Synopsis: Climate impact is worsening every year. Devastating storms, air pollution, sacrifice zones, and fossil fuel price hikes are the new normal. We know the problems of a fossil fuel economy —How to Power a City is a front-row seat to people finding solutions. A diverse cast in six locations each leads a unique solar or wind power project. They also find ways to use renewable energy to innovate, activate, and create community. This is a journey through the world of renewable energy: creating electricity without pollution, solar for surviving hurricanes, local climate action, and finding measures of environmental justice. It has themes of science, innovation, leadership, environmental stewardship, and love of one’s community.

E. Melanie DuPuis, PhD (Professor Emerita, Environmental Studies and Science, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) co-authored, with Levi Van Sant, PhD, and Christian Keeve, MS, "Abolitionist visions: finance and freedom in the post-Civil War US South,", in the Journal of Peasant Studies (52.3 April 2025). The study explores the conjunctures between the history of Abolition and Black agroecology today. It examines two competing visions of abolition following the US Civil War. The authors use conjunctural analysis to put critical agrarian and abolition studies in conversation. They argue that, for Northern liberals, abolition was an individualistic and competitive fix for a crisis of global capitalist production; in contrast, radical Black agrarians envisioned abolition as the beginning of a new freedom rooted in cooperative economies. The authors’ conclusion reflects on the ways that this history resonates with Black freedom struggles today.

Margot Pollans, JD (Elisabeth Haub School of Law) delivered the James D. Hopkins Memorial Lecture on Monday, April 21, on "Inundations: Pain, Bodies, and the Law." Dean Horace Anderson appointed Professor Pollans as the James D. Hopkins Professor of Law for the 2023–2025 term. During the holder's term, the James D. Hopkins Professor delivers a lecture that is open to the entire law school community and members of the public. Professor Pollans opened her lecture outlining the different contexts in which people experience physical inundation such as toxic exposure, gun violence, radiation, and noise. Professor Pollans defined inundation and made the case that it is an essential unit of analysis. She offered a taxonomy of regulatory approaches to inundation, explaining that little current law prevents inundation. Instead, it facilitates individuals who want to protect themselves. And, finally, she explored the consequences of these approaches for both individuals and regulators. Throughout her lecture, Professor Pollans offered specific examples of inundation, many of which translate into our everyday life.

Katherine Fink, PhD (Media & Communication Arts, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published “Strategizing Sustainability in Nonprofit News: Revenue Preferences of Newsroom Leaders” in Digital Journalism 13.3 (April 2025). Newsroom leaders, particularly at the local level, have been inter­ested in nonprofit models due to their perceived alignment with journalism’s public service mission, as well as their potential to open up new revenue streams, such as donations from individuals and grants from foundations. Still, sustainability remains a concern for news nonprofits. Modern portfolio theory suggests revenue diversity may be able to help nonprofit organizations improve sus­tainability. However, “diversity” has been inconsistently defined, and more nuanced analyses of nonprofit fundraising strategies and challenges are needed, particularly in the news sector. This interview-based study thus aims to build on prior applications of MPT to nonprofit sustainability by examining the fundraising prior­ities and strategies of 23 local nonprofit news leaders. While lead­ers supported revenue diversity in principle, increasing the number of revenue categories was less important to them than finding revenues that met specific criteria. That is, newsroom leaders val­ued revenue sources that could leverage additional support, align with organizational missions, and be renewable. This study thus supports on prior research on nonprofit leadership and can help guide foundations and others attempting to help nonprofit jour­nalism achieve sustainability.

Professor Fink has also published a piece based on this study in The Conversation.

Andrew Young Choi, PhD (Psychology, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) has earned board certification from the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP)—a prestigious recognition that affirms his advanced competence and professionalism in health service psychology. With this achievement, Professor Choi becomes one of two board-certified specialists in the Department of Psychology (NY) at Pace University. His certification in Counseling Psychology was supported by the ABPP Foundation’s Walter Katkovsky Scholarship.

ABPP Board Certification is a rigorous post-licensure process involving peer-reviewed evaluation of a psychologist’s advanced competencies, ethical standards, and specialized expertise. This distinction serves as a formal mark of excellence, enhancing public trust and reinforcing leadership across academic, clinical, and community settings.

As part of Prof. Choi’s certification process, his award-winning interdisciplinary scholarship underwent critical evaluation. His work applies queer of color critique to examine intersectionality and racism-related stress among Asian Americans—a population that remains both understudied and underserved in behavioral health services. By integrating psychoanalytic concepts, he explores the evolving nature of anti-Asian racialization and its theoretical and clinical implications. Prof. Choi’s intellectual contributions reflect a deep commitment to advancing the field in innovative and critically engaged ways that better address the needs of historically marginalized communities, while also supporting the department’s mission to provide inclusive, high-quality education and training in professional psychology.

PsyD Program in School-Clinical Child Psychology

Psychology Department

New York City

The Pace University-NYC Psychology Department has a rich history of graduate academic and professional practice programs. In 1973, with New York State Education Department (NYSED) approval, the department began to offer the Master of Education (MSED) in School Psychology degree. Based on this graduate degree program, the Psychology Department faculty broadened their scope and proposed the Doctor of Psychology (PSYD) in School-Community Psychology degree program in 1979. This professional practice doctoral program was the first PSYD degree approved by the NYSED (1979). In 1989, the PSYD in School-Community Psychology program received its first accreditation by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a School Psychology training program; this program was subsequently re-accredited in 1995. In 1997, the Psychology Department faculty sought and obtained approval from the NYSED to change the degree title from the Doctor of Psychology (PSYD) in School-Community Psychology to the Doctor of Psychology (PSYD) in School-Clinical Child Psychology to better describe the training provided by this doctoral program (as a clinically oriented school psychology training program). In 2000, the PSYD in School-Clinical Child Psychology program went forward for re-accreditation and the APA re-accredited this doctoral program again, but this time as a Combined School-Clinical training program. That program recently went through another successful re-accreditation process (2023) and received accreditation for 10 years going forward.

The PsyD Program integrates field experience with academic preparation within a practitioner-scholar training model. Students complete three years of on-site practica through the McShane Center for Psychological Services, two years of school psychology field experiences, one year of a clinical psychology externship, and a 5^th year full-time school &/or clinical child psychology internship. 

The program also provides training and experience in conducting research. The focus of research training is to be able to conduct research that integrates science and practice and applies existing knowledge to solve practical programs. Many students have presented their research at regional, national, and international psychology conferences. In addition, many graduates have published the results of their doctoral project research in peer-reviewed journals.

Alumni are employed in a variety of settings including: private and public schools, clinical or psychiatric settings, juvenile justice, mental health agencies or clinics, residential treatment centers, psychiatric hospital settings, university settings, and private practice, among others. Approximately 98% of alumni are licensed psychologists and many have obtained their School Psychology Certification.
