Welcome to a very special episode of the "I Am Dad" podcast! Today, we are honored to have two pioneers in the field of fatherhood research and education joining us—Dr. Jay Fagan and Dr. Glen Palm. Together, these esteemed scholars have dedicated their careers to advancing our understanding of fatherhood and empowering fathers to play active, nurturing roles in their children’s lives.

Dr. Fagan, Professor Emeritus at Temple University and co-founder of the Fatherhood Research and Practice Network, has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and co-authored multiple books, including the upcoming Fathers and Children Together: A Guide to Developing a Parenting Identity and Supporting your Child. His work has revolutionized how we approach father-child relationships, coparenting, and fatherhood programs, especially in low-income communities.

Dr. Palm, Professor Emeritus of Child and Family Studies at St. Cloud State University, has spent decades shaping the field of parent education and supporting fathers through programs like the Dads Project. He has co-authored landmark books, including Fathers and Early Childhood Programs and Parent Education: Working with Groups and Individuals, bringing invaluable insights to educators and families alike.

Together, they offer a wealth of knowledge and experience on fatherhood, parenting, and the critical role of fathers in early childhood development. Please join me in welcoming the incredible Dr. Jay Fagan and Dr. Glen Palm to the "I Am Dad" podcast.
