THE DR. KATHLEEN MOORE FACULTY EXCELLENCE AWARD PROGRAM IN WLP
WENDY ROTE, PHD
USF Junior Faculty Award
“The funding from WLP allows me to continue developing my line of research focused on
assessing mothers’ and teens’ divergent perceptions of guilt inductive statements during
conflict discussions, and examining how maternal and teen adjustment predicts those
divergences. Moving forward, I will examine how non-adjustment factors, as well as mothers’
reported parenting stress, impact teens’ and mothers’ attitudes towards guilt induction. I
plan to disseminate findings not only to the research community, but to the community at
large through continued engagement and presentations at community-driven parenting
workshops.”
LEIA CAIN, PHD
USF Instructor Award
“WLP’s award allows me to conducting interviews with women in academia who have
experienced academic bullying. I hope to use the information gathered to write a book about
their experiences, tell their stories, and discuss strategies for perseverance. I have had an
overwhelming number of women reach out and inform me of their interest in the project, even
before officially beginning the recruiting process. The goal is that this project will be utilized in
university teaching courses, Preparing Future Faculty programs, and in other spaces where
graduate students are able to learn about the academic experience of women.”
