Jacquelyn J. Benson, PhD

Picture
I have a dual appointment at the University of Missouri as an Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Science and State Specialist in Gerontology for the College of Human Environmental Sciences Cooperative Extension. 

My research agenda draws from multiple perspectives in gerontology, family science, health sciences, sociology, and gender studies. I am deeply passionate about conducting translatable research to help older adults and their families age well physically, socially, and emotionally. Specifically, my research focuses on complex family structure and processes as it relates to:
  • family caregiving for individuals with life-limiting illnesses
  • family decision-making processes for aging-related issues
  • late-life repartnering
