FACULTY RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Early Childhood Education (ECE) program area focuses on the
social, academic, cultural, racial and political intersections of young
children entering grades preschool – 3rd grade. Our area features nationally
recognized scholars working on early childhood policy, pedagogy, curriculum and
training. We provide a comprehensive approach to mentoring graduate students
through teaching and research so that they can successfully pursue careers
addressing the local and global issues facing young children. Our students are
committed to improving early childhood education for an increasingly diverse
group of young children and demonstrating the importance of dynamic, engaging,
high quality, culturally relevant early childhood learning environments.
