Philippe Rochat, PhD

Born and raised in Geneva Switzerland. Trained by Jean Piaget and his close collaborators, he gets his Ph.D. from the University of Geneva, Switzerland in 1984 to then do a series of Post Doctoral internships at Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University in the United States, conducting research on action, perception and cognitive development in human infants. He taught and did research in developmental psychology at the University of Massachusetts, to join in the early 1990’s the faculty at Emory University in Atlanta where he continues to be a professor of psychology. A 2006-2007 John Simon Guggenheim fellow, he published 5 books and many scholarly articles on infant and child development. The main topic of his research is the early sense of self, emerging self-concept, the development of social cognition and relatedness, the emergence of a moral sense during the preschool years in children from all over the world, growing up and raised in highly contrasted cultural environments, as well as highly contrasted socio-economic circumstances.
