Rosie Phillips Davis (formerly Rosie Phillips Bingham) is a Professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Memphis and was the 2019 President of the American Psychological Association (APA). Much of her work relates to deep poverty and assessing the blame placed on those that are impoverished. Dr. Davis, herself, grew up in deep poverty alongside eleven siblings. Throughout Dr. Davis's childhood, her father supported her, her mother, and her siblings while earning approximately $2,500 per year. The family relocated from Mississippi to Tennessee while Dr. Davis was a young girl, and she was a first-generation college attendee. Dr. Davis received a bachelor's degree in sociology and education at Elmhurst College before going onto receive her master's in counseling and guidance, followed by a Ph.D. in counseling psychology at the Ohio State University. In her time as the President of the APA, her initiatives focused on understanding deep poverty and expanding communication regarding psychological science to the general public in an accessible manner.
