معرفی
Fabienne Doucet is an Associate Professor of Early Childhood and Urban Education and Executive Director of the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She holds affiliations with the NYU Institute for Human Development and Social Change and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Born in Spain, raised in Haiti, and migrating to the U.S. at age ten, her interdisciplinary research focuses on how marginalized children and families navigate educational systems through a critical ethnographic lens.
Dr. Doucet holds a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies from UNC-Greensboro and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard Graduate School of Education funded by the National Science Foundation and Spencer Foundation. Her work examines systemic inequities in family-school partnerships, racial identity development among Black mixed-race youth, and culturally sustaining practices in early childhood education.
Her recent publications emphasize equity-centered frameworks for early childhood policy, antiracist pedagogy, and reimagining family engagement models. Key themes include bioecological systems theory, critical discourse analysis of educational policies, and the tactical use of ethnic clubs by immigrant youth.
