Student awarded Equity in Early Childhood Education (E3) Postdoctoral Fellowship
HDFS doctoral student Alexis Merculief has been awarded an Equity in Early Childhood Education (E3) Postdoctoral Fellowship, housed at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood and will be working with Jelena Obradovic.
The Equity in Early Education Postdoctoral (E3) Fellowship Program trains the next generation of scholars to conduct research toward equitable, impactful, and sustainable early childhood care and education systems.
This program, funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), is designed to train fellows to conduct work that is:
- equity-focused—centering systemic equity as an outcome
- interdisciplinary—examining individual development in the context of structural racial and economic inequality using a variety of theoretical and empirical approaches
- responsive—centering the needs of children, families, the early childhood workforce, and other community stakeholders to co-develop new and effective practices, programs, and policies
