Dr. Fabienne Doucet, Associate Professor, NYU Steinhardt Graduate School of Education, Senior Grant Officer, W. T. Grant Foundation.

Dr. Fabienne Doucet was born in Spain, raised in Haiti, and migrated to the U.S. at the age of ten. Doucet embodies a hybrid identity that is mirrored in her interdisciplinary approach to examining how immigrant and U.S.-born children of color and their families navigate education in the United States. A critical ethnographer, Doucet studies how taken-for-granted beliefs, practices, and values in the U.S. educational system position linguistically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse children and families at a disadvantage, and seeks active solutions for meeting their educational needs. Doucet has a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies from 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. She is also an affiliated faculty member of the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools and Institute for Human Development and Social Change.
