Roderick L. Carey is a CEHD Faculty Scholar and Associate Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Delaware’s College of Education and Human Development. His research focuses on the educational experiences of Black and Latino adolescent boys in urban contexts, employing critical theories and qualitative methodologies to explore issues of school culture, family influence on college aspirations, and equity in teacher training. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, an Ed.M. from Harvard University, and a B.A. from Boston College.
Dr. Carey’s work emphasizes reimagining educational systems to affirm the humanity and potential of marginalized youth. His interdisciplinary research spans three key areas: (1) understanding Black and Latino boys’ postsecondary ambitions and family dynamics, (2) advancing equity-centered teacher education practices, and (3) evaluating youth activism programs. Recent projects include a grant-funded study on Black boys’ perceived mattering in schools and collaborations with organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Prior to Delaware, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Urban Education, leading mixed-methods evaluations of youth programs. His teaching experience includes four years as an English teacher in Washington D.C. urban charter schools, where he also coordinated arts programs and instructional leadership initiatives.
Dr. Carey actively contributes to public discourse through media engagements, lectures (e.g., his 2019 Race and Culture Lecture on Black boy mattering), and publications in journals such as Harvard Educational Review and Urban Education.
