Project Play (Playing to Learn About You): Promoting Ethnic-Racial Identity in Young Children  

Co-investigators: Chelsea Williams, Ph.D.

The goal of this project is to better understand caregivers' and children’s thoughts about their ethnicity, race, and culture and how it relates to children’s development and caregivers’ parenting. We also hope to understand how caregivers and children between the ages of 3 to 7 years of age talk about ethnicity, race, and culture during a play session.

Dr. Williams is a Co-Principal Investigator of this study alongside Dr. Esther Calzada. Our goal is to develop play interventions to discuss ethnicity, race, and culture!
