Life Course History Hero

In 2011, our Life Course Research Network conducted a series of interviews with national and international experts working to translate a life course approach into practice. Guided by PI Neal Halfon and conducted by researchers Michael Lu, Shirley Russ and Kandyce Larson, these interviews provide a “historic snapshot" of our understanding at that time. They are not a comprehensive record of activity in the field but reflect the perspectives of a core group of MCH leaders. They prompt reflection on how far we have come and how much we have yet to do. Copies of these transcripts have been deposited at the Georgetown Center for the History of Maternal and Child Health. Interviewees include David Barker, Chris Forrest, Bernard Guyer, Cheri Pies, Chad Abresch, and Tina Cheng.

The entire collection of interviews is now available on our website.
