Dr. Michal Perlman is a Professor in the Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology at the University of Toronto, Canada, cross-appointed at U of T's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. In addition, she is the Director of the Dr. R.G.N. Laidlaw Research Centre. She studies how early environments are associated with children’s wellbeing. She is particularly interested in the quality of interactions that children have with their caregivers both at home and in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings. She has helped develop efficient ways of measuring the quality of interactions (and more global measures as well) and is developing interventions to improve the quality of interactions children experience. She also studies how to conceptualize and measure ECEC quality, parents as consumers of ECEC services, associations between ECEC quality and child outcomes and a range of policy questions related to ECEC. She has published her work in a variety of peer-reviewed journals, and her work has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the McCain Foundation, the Lawson Foundation a range of government counteracts and many others.
