McCubbin, Hamilton I. (1941 - )
Hamilton I. McCubbin earned all three of his degrees--a BS in Political Science in 1964, an MS in Social Work in 1966, and a PhD in School Psychology and Child Welfare in 1970--at UW-Madison. He completed post-doctoral studies at Yale University, the University of Minnesota and Stanford University. For several years he was director of the Family Studies Branch of the Naval Health Research Center and director of research for the Army Corrections Program. Immediately before coming to UW, he was professor in the School of Social Work and then head and professor in the Family Social Science department at the University of Minnesota. McCubbin was appointed Dean of the UW's School of Family Resources and Consumer Sciences and professor of Child and Family Studies in 1985. During his tenure the school established three Bascom Professorships, six endowed centers or institutes of research, and the Gallery of Design. It also changed its name to the School of Human Ecology in 1996. His extensive research focused on family stress and coping, and in particular on the effects of war and other catastrophes on families and children. He also studied the long-term effects on families of caring for chronically ill children. While at UW, he authored or edited twelve books, and secured more than $8 million in funding for research. In 1999, McCubbin returned to his faculty position, and retired from UW in 2000. After his retirement he accepted the position of chief executive officer of Kamehameha Schools, the charitable trust of Bernice Pauahi Bishop in Honolulu, Hawaii, established to serve persons of Hawaiian ancestry. |
