Director, Research, Learning & Evaluation

Casta Guillaume, Ph.D., joined the National Equity Project in 2022. As an equity-minded, mixed methods researcher she uses systematic inquiry to examine and uplift how aspects of oppression and liberation co-occur within the contexts where young people grow, learn, and contribute. As a lifelong youth worker, Casta applies an action-oriented approach to research that privileges intergenerational connections. Her community-based research supports the integration of student and caregiver voices into the conceptualization, design, and evaluation of learning spaces–broadly defined.  

Casta earned her doctorate in Education and Psychology from the University of Michigan, and both her Master’s in Community and Social Change and Bachelor's in English Literature and Secondary Education from the University of Miami. Casta is a Weissberg fellow with the collaborative for academic and social and emotional learning (CASEL).  She is the proud child of two Haitian immigrants/community builders, l’union fait la force.
