About
Fabienne Doucet is Associate Professor of Early Childhood and Urban Education, and Executive Director of the Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She is also an affiliated faculty member of the Institute for Human Development and Social Change and Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Born in Spain, raised in Haiti, and migrating to the US at the age of ten, Doucet embodies a hybrid identity that is mirrored in her interdisciplinary approach to examining how immigrant and US-born children of color and their families navigate education in the United States. Doucet has a PhD in human development and family studies from the UNC-Greensboro and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education with fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation.
Current Work
Dr. Doucet's scholarship centers anti-racist, anti-bias, humanizing approaches to research with (not on) communities that have traditionally been marginalized. She is engaged in numerous research projects that seek to illuminate the strengths and knowledges of Black and Brown immigrant and U.S.-born families, young people, and educators.
