Sally S. Cohen is Associate Professor and Director, Nursing Management, Policy and Leadership Specialty at Yale School of Nursing. Her scholarship focuses on linkages among practice, policy, and research for several areas, especially social policies for families with children. Her strong interdisciplinary background has enabled her to pursue innovative programs of research, including the political development of nurses, regulation of nursing practice, and her newest interest—the politics of children’s rights.. She is the recipient of several awards for her scholarship. Her book, Championing Child Care, analyzes the politics of 30 years of national child care policymaking. Dr. Cohen is also a member of the Health Policy Group for the American Academy of Nursing and on the Governing Council for the Public Policy Section of the American Political Science Association. She is on the Executive Committee for the Yale Interdisciplinary Bioethics Project and co-chairs its Committee on Children.
