Catie Connolly
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
Graduate Teaching Consultant, Digital Learning Strategy
Grad Writing Tutor, Hume CenterBioAs a PhD candidate in Developmental and Psychological Sciences at Stanford, I study how early childhood experience, cultural background, and education shape children's social-emotional development. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and experimental tasks, to understand the development of core social-emotional skills like emotion regulation and executive functioning in ethnically-, culturally-, and socioeconomically-diverse child populations.
I am passionate about applying developmental science to inform educational policy and practice. My goal is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and practice in early childhood education by working with students, parents, and teachers to create evidence-based and culturally-responsive curricula and interventions that will improve students' social-emotional outcomes and well-being. -
