Tiffany (Qianru) Yang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioTiffany is a postdoctoral fellow with the Stanford Impact Labs postdoctoral fellowship program. She received her Ph.D. in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2024, concentrating in Human Development, Learning and Teaching, along with a Secondary Field in Data Science from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Prior to her doctoral training, she received a B.A. in psychology from the University of Washington, Seattle, and an Ed.M. in human development and psychology from Harvard University. Tiffany’s research examines how early experiences influence children’s cognitive development and learning, with a particular focus on the role of the home environment and family interactions. This work aims to identify culturally situated factors that support the development of foundational cognitive skills in early to middle childhood, especially among underrepresented populations.

Jason Yeatman
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics), of Education and of Psychology
BioDr. Jason Yeatman is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Department of Psychology at Stanford University and the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Yeatman completed his PhD in Psychology at Stanford where he studied the neurobiology of literacy and developed new brain imaging methods for studying the relationship between brain plasticity and learning. After finishing his PhD, he took a faculty position at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences before returning to Stanford.
As the director of the Brain Development and Education Lab, the overarching goal of his research is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the process of learning to read, how these mechanisms differ in children with dyslexia, and to design literacy intervention programs that are effective across the wide spectrum of learning differences. His lab employs a collection of structural and functional neuroimaging measurements to study how a child’s experience with reading instruction shapes the development of brain circuits that are specialized for this unique cognitive function. -

She is especially interested in understanding youth of color’s movement and navigational practices through the lens of everyday forms of resistance and refusal. Her broader research agenda engages with critical arts-based methods and socio-spatial re/counter-mapping of school space. She situates her current research in the Midwest and the Bay Area.
Anisa's scholarship is supported by the EDGE: Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education Fellowship through the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and the Emerging Scholars Fellowship through the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.
