Bruce Homer
Associate Professor, Ph.D. Program
in Educational Psychology
Bruce Homer joins the Graduate Center from NYU. Homer’s
research (which has been funded by the National Institutes
of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute
for Educational Sciences) focuses on how children learn
to use the cultural tools that store and transmit knowledge;
these tools include language, literacy, and information
technologies. He studies how the acquisition of these tools
transforms cognitive and developmental processes, particularly
the formation of representations. His work entails three
lines of research—language and literacy, theory of
mind, and computer-based learning. Homer co-edited The
Development of Social Cognition and Communication,
and he has published articles and book chapters. He holds
a B.Sc. from Dalhousie University, and an M.A. and Ph.D.
from the University of Toronto.
