Dr. Tiffany Chenneville is the Marie E. and E. Leslie Cole Endowed Chair in Ethics and professor of psychology and pediatrics at the University of South Florida (USF). Chenneville holds an honorary professor appointment in the Perinatal HIV Research Unit in the University of Witwatersrand (WITS) School of Clinical Medicine in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her scholarly work centers on two primary areas: ethics and sexual health. She is recognized for her contributions to professional, research and treatment ethics, particularly in the context of psychological care and social-behavioral health research. Her research also investigates psychosocial issues facing youth living with, at risk for or affected by HIV, along with broader issues of sexual health, particularly those affecting marginalized communities. Chenneville's commitment to global health is reflected in her cross-cultural collaborations, which span her areas of interest and include partnerships with colleagues in Kenya, South Africa, India, England and Canada. Her scholarly contributions include nearly 100 publications and 250 professional presentations. Chenneville has demonstrated leadership as former chair of the USF psychology department, the American Psychological Association (APA) Ethics Committee and the APA Committee on Psychology and AIDS, among other positions. She has received many awards and honors, including a Fulbright Canada Research Chair Award in 2021 at York University in Toronto and a Fulbright Specialist Award in 2018 at WITS. Chenneville was an American Association for the Advancement of Science legislative fellow in 2023-2024, sponsored by the APA/American Psychological Foundation LGBTQIA+ Congressional Fellowship program.
