Biography: 

Nancy Gonzales is Provost Pro Tempore and Foundation Professor of psychology at Arizona State University. On July 1, 2021, she will become an Executive Vice President and University Provost. Her prior position was as dean of natural sciences in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU. Her research examines culturally-informed models of family and youth resilience in low-income communities. Over the past 20 years, her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Helios Education Foundation, and the Institute for Educational Sciences and has contributed important insights into the cultural strengths, challenges, and positive development of Mexican Americans living in the Southwest. This research encompasses multiple collaborations and research studies that collectively span across the lifespan, from birth to young adulthood. 

Professor Gonzales also translates findings from culturally-informed developmental studies to design and evaluate programs to reduce minority health disparities and promote academic resilience in secondary and post-secondary educational settings. Her team’s Bridges program for middle school students demonstrated long-term effects to increase school engagement and achievement and prevent multiple problem outcomes up 10 years later, including reduced school dropout and lower rates of mental health and substance abuse disorders in young adulthood. Currently she is working to implement the program in Title I schools and to examine whether emotional, cognitive, and biological self-regulation are key mediating mechanisms through which Bridges produces long term educational benefits and reduced drug and alcohol problems.

Gonzales is also the co-director of the REACH (Research and Education Advancing Children’s Health) Institute.
