Cassandra Cotton is an Assistant Professor of Sociology in the School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University. Her research spans family dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa and romantic relationships across the life course in the United States, making significant contributions to both demographic and sociological literature. Education: PhD in Sociology, McGill University, 2017 BA in International Relations, Mount Allison University, 2008 Cotton's research explores motherhood, kinship networks, and child fostering practices in sub-Saharan Africa, with particular focus on how migration into informal settlements affects family dynamics in Nairobi, Kenya. Simultaneously, she investigates romantic relationship experiences across the lifespan in the U.S., with recent emphasis on dating and repartnering among older adults. Her methodological approach combines qualitative and mixed methods to examine complex family dynamics in diverse contexts, resulting in publications in top journals including Demography, Population and Development Review, and Journal of Marriage and Family. Her recent publications reveal two clearly defined research streams: one examining how migration, urbanization, and economic challenges reshape traditional kinship networks in Africa, and another exploring how political considerations, family dynamics, and changing social norms influence dating patterns, particularly among older adults. This dual focus demonstrates her ability to bridge demographic and sociological perspectives across different cultural contexts. Cotton actively mentors students and has led research projects including a recent capstone where 13 students collaboratively designed an interview study on college dating culture. She has received internal seed grants to support her research on older adult dating, demonstrating institutional recognition of her scholarly contributions. Her work has been published in numerous high-impact journals, reflecting consistent scholarly productivity since completing her PhD in 2017.

Dr. Jennifer Vonk is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Oakland University. Her academic career spans over two decades with a focus on comparative and cognitive psychology, examining cognitive continuities and discontinuities between humans and other species. She directs the Laboratory of Cognitive Origins and has made significant contributions to our understanding of animal cognition across diverse species including bears, primates, dogs, and cats. Dr. Vonk's educational background includes: PhD from York University (2002), Toronto, Ontario MA from Wilfred Laurier University (1998), Waterloo, Ontario BA from McMaster University (1994), Hamilton, Ontario As a comparative/cognitive psychologist, Dr. Vonk's primary research interests focus on two overlapping areas: animal cognition and cognitive development. Her work examines cognitive continuities and discontinuities between humans and both closely and distantly related species, with particular emphasis on both phylogenetic and ontogenetic origins of cognitive processes thought to be unique to humans. Current research centers on social cognition (theory of mind, prosociality, and reasoning about emotions) as well as physical cognition (causal reasoning, analogical reasoning, numerosity, and natural concept formation). More recent work investigates the effects of religiosity, attachment, and perspective-taking on human decision-making processes. Dr. Vonk has also expanded her research to examine how companion animals respond to the death of human caregivers in their households. Dr. Vonk's extensive publication record reveals consistent themes across species and cognitive domains. Her research demonstrates sophisticated cognitive abilities in non-human animals, particularly in areas of social cognition, physical reasoning, and numerical abilities. She has conducted groundbreaking work with American black bears, demonstrating their capacity for quantity estimation, causal reasoning, and natural concept formation. Her comparative approach, examining similar cognitive processes across primates, carnivores, and domesticated species, has provided valuable insights into the evolutionary origins of human cognitive abilities. Dr. Vonk actively mentors graduate students through Oakland University's psychology program and maintains the Laboratory of Cognitive Origins. She has secured research funding to study animal cognition across multiple species and has been involved in conservation education initiatives, particularly regarding bat conservation. Her lab frequently recruits coders interested in gaining experience in animal behavior and cognition research. Dr. Vonk has contributed significantly to the field through her editorial work, including co-editing the Oxford Handbook of Comparative Evolutionary Psychology (2012) and serving as co-editor for the upcoming Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior and Cognition. She has also authored numerous book chapters and commentaries that have helped shape the theoretical foundations of comparative psychology.
