system, Logan-Greene’s teaching interests include research
methods and forensic social work. Recently, she partnered with a
juvenile court to examine childhood traumas and adversities among
youth on probation, in addition to being awarded a grant to examine
mental health professionals’ attitudes toward clients with a
criminal record. Some of her other projects involve the examination
of the effects of childhood maltreatment on aggression, delinquency
and health and mental health outcomes throughout the lifespan.
Logan-Greene received an MSSW with a concentration in clinical
social work in 2006 from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville
and a BA in Biology with honors from Wesleyan University in
1999.
