SETH KEETON
Associate Professor, School Of Music
Research Summary: My research centers on the performance and discovery of vocal music. This takes many forms: opera, concert, art song recital, and an unprecedented project in the Digital Humanities called SongHelix. Methodologically I discover existing, lesser known works as well as champion the performance and creation of new works through analog and digital means. Through my research, I seek to grow enthusiasm for this often unsung medium, thereby enriching the lives of singers and audiences.

Chair, University of Utah, Political Science Department
Professor, Political Science Department
Research Summary: I am interested in understanding how and why individuals come to participate in political activities in the countries where they live. I am especially interested in understanding the institutional factors that lead to the inclusion or exclusion of marginal or vulnerable groups, such as immigrants, the poor, or, in certain contexts, women. I have explored these questions in the context of Mexico, cross-nationally in Latin America, and among undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

LISA G. ASPINWALL
Member, Cancer Control and Population Sciences Program, University of Utah, Huntsman Cancer Institute
Professor, Psychology Department
Research Summary: I study future-oriented thinking-–planning, prevention, goals, optimism, and fatalism--because these concepts are central to health, wealth, achievement and well-being. I study 1) how people may proactively manage familial disease risk through precision medicine and behavior change, including responses to cancer genetic testing and other health-risk communications, and 2) individual, cultural and socioeconomic differences in how people think about genetic causes and whether they are modifiable.

CYNTHIA BERG
Distinguished Professor, Psychology Department
Co-Director, Consortium for Family and Health Research, University of Utah, College of Social and Behavioral Science
Research Summary: My research examines how the family system can facilitate or derail the management of chronic illnesses, most especially type 1 and type 2 diabetes during adolescence, the transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood, and adults across the life span. We utilize a wide variety of methodologies (surveys, daily diaries, daily open-ended interviews, physiological) and statistical techniques to capture collaboration across parent-child dyads and couples.
