Dr. Niobe Way Bio
Dr. Niobe Way is a leading developmental psychologist whose pioneering research on adolescent social and emotional development reveals how cultural ideologies shape human connection in the U.S. and China. Through initiatives like the Project for the Advancement of our Common Humanity (PACH; pach.org), the Listening with Curiosity Project, and the Science of Human Connection Lab (https://niobewaylab.squarespace.com), she works to counter the “crisis of connection” by cultivating relational intelligence in schools and communities. An award-winning author and influential public scholar, her work has transformed understandings of boys’ friendships, inspired major media, and informed national psychology guidelines.
