About Kevin

Kevin Allison, Ph.D., is Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, appointed to the chair position effective July 1, 2023. He holds a Ph.D. from DePaul University and has served as a professor of clinical psychology at VCU since 1996. His research interests broadly focus on the role of culture and context in adolescent development, community assets that support healthy developmental trajectories for urban youth and adults, and the professional development of diverse students and leaders in higher education. Current work employs social capital theory and participatory research strategies to explore employment and career opportunities through information sharing and mutual support, qualitative analyses of African American adolescents' pursuit of academic opportunities, and linkages between child and adolescent well-being indicators and community changes. Affiliated with the Clinical Child Concentration, his scholarship addresses violence prevention, mental health disparities, and psychosocial functioning in diverse populations, including transgender individuals and urban African American youth.
