Keli Steuber

Assistant Professor

Keli's major area of study is interpersonal communication with a focus on marital communication and change across the lifespan of relationships. Her program of research is centered on two main research questions:
(a) how do couples maintain marital well-being when confronted with challenging life circumstances, and
(b) how does the social network impact the experience of those circumstances?
This perspective places the marital dyad at the center of these transitions, but it also recognizes that family and friends can offer support, influence perceptions, and experience change associated with the stressors that exist within a marriage.

Keli has contributed to projects exploring relational uncertainty and partner interference in transitions, the management of secrets within families, and perceptions of marital support. Her most recent work examines spouses' privacy management during the experience of infertility.

Keli currently teaches courses focusing on communication methods and lifespan communication.
