Mattel, in partnership with the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, is proud to announce the latest addition to its iconic Barbie lineup: Education Policy Research Barbie. Modeled after Fordham’s very own Vice President for Research Amber Northern, this groundbreaking doll combines glamour with intellect, empowering young minds to dream big and break stereotypes.
In a bold departure from traditional Barbie roles, Education Policy Research Barbie epitomizes sophistication and academic prowess. Dressed in a stylish blazer, chic glasses, and trendy accessories, she exudes confidence and professionalism. With her miniature laptop, stacks of research papers, and a fashionable briefcase, she is ready to tackle the complex world of education policy.
Through imaginative play, children can engage with Education Policy Research Barbie to discuss pressing issues like the benefits of charter schools and the challenges of advanced education.
When asked if there would be a Ken doll in the line modeled off Fordham President Mike Petrilli, Mattel refused to comment, but did send this image:
Education Policy Research Barbie will be available for purchase nationwide starting this spring, inviting children everywhere to dream big and redefine what it means to be a Barbie. Join the movement and let your imagination soar with Education Policy Research Barbie!
