Mylien Duong

Trained as a clinical psychologist, Mylien Duong has spent the last 13 years developing and testing psychology-based tools for educational spaces, with an emphasis on tools that are evidence-based, easy to implement, and practical. She has secured over $25 million in grant funding and published over 50 scientific articles and book chapters, and her educational tools have been used by over 100,000 educators across the United States. She’s interested in how cultures–in big groups and in small ones–can take on a life of their own, and how human needs for belonging and connection have fueled polarization but can also be its antidote. 

When she’s not working, you can find her rehabilitating land with her husband in Washington State.
