Colette Daiute: Distinguished Professor, Researcher & Author

Colette Daiute is Distinguished Professor  at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, on the  faculty of the Ph.D. Programs in Psychology, Educational Psychology and Urban Education.  Dr. Daiute was previously a professor at Harvard University and Columbia University Teachers College.  Colette Daiute does research, writing, and teaching on human development -- individuals and collectives -- in challenging and rapidly changing circumstances.  Her research focuses on social, cognitive, and emotional development with children, youth, and adults in situations of displacement, migration, political violence, increasing cultural diversity,  and inequality.  The research paradigm of Daiute and her students involves studying development within innovative activities in educational and community organizations where people use language and other culture media to make sense of their situations and to make a difference.  Daiute studies the human development process with critical and creative uses of cultural tools like language, literacy, digital storytelling, community organizations, policies, and laws.  Daiute and her research group are also studying the psychology of human - AI interactions, with a focus on different roles in the research process. Among research grants, speaking invitations, and other honors, Colette is a Member of the National Academy of Education, a recipient of the Distinguished Contribution to Developmental Science Award from the Piaget Society for the Study of Knowledge and Development.
