Remy Dou

Dr. Remy Dou leads the Talking Science Research & Development Group (Talking Science) at Florida International University. Talking Science focuses on investigating how family science conversations support the development of children’s STEM identities across formal and informal learning settings. These studies highlight the diverse voices and cultures of Latine children and families, and represent members from those communities as researchers, advisors, developers, and participants, building on a commitment to the construction of equitable and culturally sustaining STEM spaces.

In 2019, Dr. Dou received the highly competitive National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award to explore STEM identity development in the context of at-home, family conversations. Dr. Dou currently serves as Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-PI on three NSF-funded projects totaling nearly $6 million. Research findings from Talking Science have been published in several top education journals, including Science Education, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, and Physical Review – Physics Education Research. Dr. Dou also serves on advisory committees for projects and institutions supporting youth and family STEM identity development, many with a focus on communities historically underrepresented in STEM fields.
