Dear Graduate Student,
This message is to announce the first in a 4 part colloquium series on
Equity and Early Childhood Education.
The opening colloquium is as follows:
Title: Conceptualizing Equity in Early Childhood Education
Presenters: Members of the ECE Steering Committee: Mon Cochran, Chip
Gidney, Jayanthi Mistry, Debbie LeeKeenan, Mary Eisenberg, Ellen
Pinderhughes
Place: EP Stevens Library, Room 157
Time: Monday, September 29th, 1:15 - 3 pm
As many of you know, the Department's Early Child Program is being re-
conceptualized following a departmental review and re-visioning
process. Based on this process, the steering committee guiding this
new conceptualization has chosen the concept of equity as a framework
within which to consider new directions in research, community
collaboration, and practice during the 2008-09 academic year. In this
first Equity and Early Childhood Education colloquium we will begin by
offering participants several different lenses through which to view
equity issues related to early education, drawing in part from a
recent paper by Dr. Lynn Kagan (Columbia and Yale Universities). We
encourage you to read this paper through prior to the colloquium.
Following our presentation we will invite participants to provide
feedback on our thoughts, and share your own ideas about what we know
and need to know regarding how ECE might respond to issues of equity
in the lives of young children.
If you would like a copy of this paper emailed to you, email Sarah
Jung (sarah.jung@tufts.edu) and she can forward a copy to you.
