Dale Lund, PhD Dale A. Lund is Professor and Chair of the Sociology Department at California State University San Bernardino. He also serves as the Co-Director of the Center for the Promotion of Health Disparities Research & Training and the Center on Aging. Before relocating to CSUSB in 2009, Lund served on the faculty at the University of Utah for 28 years and was the director of the university-wide Gerontology Center for 15 years. He also taught at North Dakota State University and Valdosta State University in Georgia. He is nationally and internationally known for his research, publications, and presentations focused on the ways older adults adjust to major life transitions, particularly spousal bereavement-widowhood and family caregiving to persons with dementia. Presently his research tests theoretically-based interventions to enhance the participant’s mental and physical health outcomes. Dr. Lund and his colleagues just completed an intervention study designed to test the effectiveness of the dual process model (DPM) of coping with bereavement with older spouses and partners in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. He is extending this project by another 5-year study funded by the National Cancer Institute that provides a similar intervention delivered individually rather than to groups of bereaved widows. The participants include hospice patients dying from cancer and their surviving spouses or partners. His work has been funded by the National Institute on Aging, National Cancer Institute, Administration on Aging, Bureau of Health Professions, National Center for Nursing Research and the National Alzheimer’s Association. He has published over 100 journal articles and book chapters and is the editor of two books; Older Bereaved Spouses (1989) and Men Coping With Grief (2001). Dr. Lund is the recipient of numerous teaching, community service and research awards including the Outstanding Researcher Award by the International Association for Death Education and Counseling (1996). He also was the book series editor of “Death, Value & Meaning” for Baywood Publishing from 2005-2012. He is a member of several national and international associations in sociology, aging and death studies. |
