I’m delighted to announce that we’ve added Melody Buyukozer Dawkins, newly minted PhD, to our talented team of researchers. Melody joined Slover Linett this spring, and while beginning a new job while sheltering in place presents some unique challenges, Melody has jumped in wholeheartedly and is already playing a crucial role on several projects, including our national research & strategy collaboration with Culture Track.

Trained as a developmental psychologist and science communicator, Melody has worked with varied populations examining the roots of our sense of fairness and equity and our attitudes toward individuals affected by resource disparities. Her experience includes organizing for gender justice and workers’ rights, making her well prepared for our community-centered work.

Melody earned her PhD in developmental psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and brings extensive experience in both qualitative and quantitative research methods to the firm.

Please join us in welcoming Melody to the Slover Linett team!
