Catch Me If You Can tells the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a world-class con artist who passed himself off as a doctor, a lawyer and a jet pilot all before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on Frank’s trail, we’re off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase as a jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps this adventure in constant motion. In the end, Agent Hanratty learns he and Frank aren’t so different after all, and Frank finds out what happens when love catches up to a man on the run.

Professor’s Bio
Fabienne Doucet is originally from Haiti. She is a Professor of Education in Steinhardt. She brings an interdisciplinary perspective to her research and teaching in Early Childhood Education, given her training in human development and family studies, which stands at the crossroads of developmental psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Her research program addresses the educational experiences of immigrant and U.S.-born children of color. Using ethnography, Doucet seeks to understand how structural factors, such as race, nationality, immigrant status, and socioeconomic status (1) impact upon children’s educational experiences, and (2) contribute to parents’ interactions with and understandings of the educational project. She has examined the everyday experiences of African American preschoolers, their parents’ childrearing values and practices, and how parents and caregivers prepare African American children for the transition to school. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education with fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the Spencer Foundation. There she studied the adaptation and schooling experiences of 1.5- and 2nd-generation Haitian youth and their families under the umbrella of the Longitudinal Immigrant Student Adaptation study. Her latest project is a critical ethnography of immigrant family involvement in Head Start. She is an affiliated faculty member of the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Doucet has a Ph.D. in human development and family studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
