Associate Professor of
Psychology and Attorney Cathy
Crosby-Currie likes to combine her interests in creative
ways. She teaches and researches on family and
public policy. She’s published several articles about the
relationship between psychological and constitutional issues involving
families and children.
She teams up with St. Lawrence economics professor Steve
Horwitz to explore research on economics and psychology, as
well as in a partnership teaching Evolution of the American
Family in the First-Year Program. And she works with
the St. Lawrence Wellness Initiative to promote healthy life choices
by St. Lawrence students.
All this puts her in contact with hundreds
of students, and she loves that. “One
of the joys of teaching here is watching my students develop over four years.
Even if a student never steps foot in one of my classes again, our paths will
cross time and again in a variety of ways.”
“I am much happier being
part of a community where, to paraphrase Cheers' (the Friends'
of my generation of college students), everybody knows my name,” she says.
Crosby-Currie earned her J.D. degree at Maryland School of Law and
her Ph.D. at the University of Virginia.
