Dr. Cleveland teaches in the Counselor Education program and conducts research exploring law enforcement officers' experience of stress, specifically when deploying force. He is interested in how mindfulness-based interventions might be a part of stress inoculation training.

Our first episode will introduce our hosts, Dr. Ryan Schroeder Dean for Georgia Southern University's College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Dr. Kania Greer Coordinator for the Institute for Interdisciplinary STEM Education in the College of Education at Georgia Southern University.

So why are we diving into podcasts? What do we want people to take away? Research is taking place across the University on a daily basis, and it's important to talk about and highlight the kinds of research that takes place. So let's make this fun, interesting, casual, conversational and give our audience a true sense of the personalities of our scholars.
