Ramona W. Denby studies child welfare systems, with particular attention to kinship caregiving (relatives raising children in foster care), racial and ethnic disparities affecting children in foster care, and the experiences of pregnant and parenting youth involved in the foster care and legal systems. Her work often examines caregiver stress, service access barriers, technology use in care delivery, and policy implications for improving child and family well-being. This research area is a good fit for students interested in social work practice, child welfare policy, or family support interventions.
Publication activity has been variable but shows an increase in recent years, with notable spikes in 2023 and 2025 compared to steadier, lower output earlier in the decade.
