MilwaukeeWI53201United States of America(414) 288-2143ed.destaubin@marquette.eduThere is a strong congruence between Ed鈥檚 work and 糖心viog官方网站鈥檚 Ignatian identity. Both address societal power dynamics and engage with marginalized groups to co-create lives of joy and meaning. Both place a premium on holistic teaching. And both value research that advances the dignity of all people.

Ed has taught a wide variety of courses to a broad range of students. One current course is THE NARRATIVE SELF that is taught inside Racine Correctional Institution. Students include 10 traditional Marquette students and 10 currently incarcerated men. It is a transformative experience.
Another teaching endeavor is the PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE internship. Students earn course credit for interning with Milwaukee social justice leaders and processing this experience with Ed and others. Click here to find out more about this opportunity:
Psychology and Social Justice Internship Program

Trained broadly in Life Span Human Development, Dr. de St. Aubin has several intellectual interests. The one thread that weaves through most of his articles, chapters, and books concerns the meaning making process as this evolves over time and as it is embedded in societal systems of power. He relies heavily on the Narrative Psychology lens to advance our understanding in these areas.
Ed also directs his training towards community needs, such as Board leadership, curriculum design, conference organization, and program evaluation. Two recent examples include assessment of the Companions in Ministry program ($1.2 million from Lilly Foundation) and an evaluation of Project RETURN鈥檚 Circles of Support program ($74,000 from President/Chancellor Challenge). All this work is completed collaboratively with others.
HERE (Holistic Explorations of Reentry Experiences) is the present research and community engagement project. Click here to find out more:

The de St. Aubin lab is planning to accept a student into Marquette鈥檚 doctoral clinical psychology program in fall of 2027. Ideal candidates will demonstrate aptitude for this advanced level of training AND an interest in social justice issues.
