Christine Brooks is an Assistant Professor and Chair of the Residential Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology Program. She brings more than 15 years of experience in the corporate world to her current work including expertise as a book editor at Bantam Books and project manager of an online personal growth website. These past work experiences inform Dr. Brooks' current interest in transformational education and leadership.
Dr. Brooks' research is focused in three areas: intentional childlessness as a life path; archetypal expressions of gendered identities; and the reconciliation of long-term discord via social networking websites. She has presented at major national and international conferences in the social and human sciences on intentional childlessness and her own original qualitative research technique, Embodied Transcription. Additional areas of scholarly interest include the intersections of transpersonal psychology with feminist and queer theories and psychologies, postmodern and poststructural theories such as social constructionism and advocacy/participatory worldviews, diversity issues in psychology, queer spirituality, qualitative research methods including grounded theory and intuitive inquiry, and adult identity.
