Emma Armstrong-Carter is now an incoming Assistant Professor at Tufts University in the Eliot-Pearson School of Child Study and Human Development, and will start in September 2023. Until then, she is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Please visit her website at: armstrong-carter.com and contact her at emmaac@berkeley.edu.
In 2022, Emma graduated with her Ph.D from the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, where she was also a fellow in the Stanford Data Science Initiative and the Institute of Education Sciences Center for Education Policy Analysis. She has also completed a post-doc at the University of California, Berkeley.
Emma is a developmental psychologist; her research program lies at the intersection of child development, data science, and education policy.
She researches how children’s experiences of helping others (e.g., family and peers) can promote their own learning and wellbeing. Further, she investigates how children’s experiences helping others can both exacerbate and mitigate the challenges that many children experience in homes with family disability, poverty, or difficult relationships.
This transdisciplinary, integrative research informs the design of school- and government-based policies that support children’s educational success.
