She has been on the editorial boards of many academic journals, including Child Development, Development and Psychopathology, Infant Behavior and Development, and Infancy and Human Development and is the current editor of Developmental Psychology. She was a member of the MacArthur Foundation Network's ""Successful Pathways Through Middle Childhood"" from 1994 to 2002. Dr. García Coll has coedited several books: The Psychosocial Development of Puerto Rican Women; Puerto Rican Women and Children: Issues in Health, Growth and Development; Mothering Against the Odds: Diverse Voices of Contemporary Mothers; and Nature and Nurture: The Complex Interplay of Genetic and Environmental Influences on Human Behavior and Development. She is a fellow of APA. Presently, her scholarship is largely focused on the role of race and ethnicity in children's development, specifically, the role of culture, acculturation, and different sources of oppression (i.e., poverty, racism, and discrimination) in shaping human development. Amy Kerivan Marks, PhD, is an assistant professor and the director of graduate and undergraduate studies in psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. She is coauthor with Cynthia García Coll of the book Immigrant Stories: Ethnicity and Academics in Middle Childhood, and has published numerous other edited and peer-reviewed works on the acculturation, ethnic identities, and development of immigrant youth. Her doctoral work on the measurement of ethnic identities was supported by a graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation, and her current work is supported by the W. T. Grant and Jacobs Foundations. Dr. Marks was recently awarded a Jacobs Foundation Young Scholar Award for her research with immigrant youth. Her present research is focused on understanding person–context interactions in the development of ethnically and racially diverse children and adolescents.
