He regularly teaches courses in cultural psychology (including Introduction to Cultural Psychology, Topics/Seminar in Cultural Psychology, and Research Methods in Cultural Psychology), Adolescent Development, Statistics and Design, and Introductory Psychology.

Amanda N. Faherty, B.A., is a doctoral student in Developmental Psychology in the Hiatt School of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, MA, USA. She is currently working under the mentorship of Dr. Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, Ph.D. Her research investigates broad and microlevel sociocontextual influences on the parent-emerging adult (EA) child relationship and development during emerging adulthood with particular emphasis on culture. In two complementary lines of research, she examines a) parenting practices in relation to emerging adult well-being and adjustment, and b) identifies microlevel cultural foundations of the parent-emerging adult child relationship in order to tease apart the construct of "culture." She received her Master's degree in Developmental Psychology from Clark University in 2018. Prior to that, she graduated magna cum laude with honors in psychology from Hobart & William Smith Colleges in 2015. She has authored or co-authored six empirical articles in peer-reviewed journals, and has been an author on six conference presentations and nine conference posters. She has received the best graduate student paper award from the Society for Cross-Cultural Research.
