On behalf of publisher Mike LaSalle, the Editorial Board and the community of contributors to Men’s News Daily, I am proud to announce the addition of Edward M. Stephens, M.D. to the Men’s News Daily Editorial Board.
Dr. Stephens, a psychiatrist, has for decades tended to the needs of child, adolescent and adult patients. Graduated from the medical school of theNational University of Ireland, he trained in obstetrics and gynecology at New York’s Roosevelt Hospital and in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry at St. Vincent’s Hospital. He is board certified by American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Dr. Stephens is chairman of the Foundation for Male Studies and co-director of the On Step Institute (OSI) on the web at (www.onstep.org).
Dr. Stephens has been a pioneer in recognizing the need for the scientific and academic study of males and has long sought to encourage the creation of male study departments at institutions of higher education.
Under Dr. Stephens’ direction, OSI in conjunction with New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development recently hosted a seminar, The Future of Men and funded two NYU fellowships in male studies.
On April 7, 2010 OSI will sponsor a seminar of leading scholars on men and boys at Wagner College, Staten Island, NY to plan for the new academic discipline of male studies and create a cross disciplinary network of professionals with that interest.
In commenting on his MND board membership, Dr. Stephens said: “I am exhilarated at the prospect of joining the premier electronic medium devoted to championing the cause of men and boys and to participate with fellow board members in advancing a cultural, social and intellectual awakening to males that has global implications.”
Dr. Stephens is a welcome new addition to the board, bringing added expertise and experience that will help MND serve as an even more effective voice in furthering the cause of men and boys.
Paul Elam is the Editor-in-Chief of Men’s News Daily and the publisher A Voice for Men.
