ALT Promotional flyer for InCHIP lecture series featuring Colleen Vesley, P.h.D, for her lecture titled ''Using Community-based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) Approaches with Families with Young Children'. This lecture is on Nov. 6th at 12:30 PM virtually.
Colleen K. Vesely, Ph.D., is an associate professor and graduate Academic Program Coordinator (APC) of Inclusive Early Childhood Education in the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Vesely’s scholarship uses Community-based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approaches to transform systems of oppression and injustice within early care and education to create equity. Specifically, Dr. Vesely examines the experiences of young children and families who experience structural marginalization to understand how they navigate early care and education systems and spaces while negotiating parenthood in the U.S. She studies family partnership and family-led systems chang
