Professor Gunnoe teaches Child Development and Youth Faith Formation. She is a graduate of Calvin’s favorite rival (Hope College) and earned her PhD in developmental psychology at the University of Virginia. Before coming to Calvin she worked at Child Trends in Washington D.C., conducting policy-relevant research on children and families. Professor Gunnoe has also taught for the University of Maryland European Extension program in Germany, and did post-doctoral work at Arizona State University developing intervention programs for at-risk families. Currently, Professor Gunnoe chairs the oversight committee for the Youth Ministry minor and is on the steering committee for the Midwest Division of Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for psychology. She directs the youth component of the American Study of Religiosity and Ethnicity and her research focuses on how different models of family authority impact family members’ adjustment. Professor Gunnoe and her husband have two sons and a daughter who was adopted as a preschooler from a small village in Siberia (talk about some interesting illustrations for her child development course!)
