Learn more about EC*REACH's Roundtable series
EC*REACH Citywide Early Childhood Research Roundtables are informal, virtual gatherings of Chicago researchers, evaluators, and analysts whose work focuses on young children and/or their families. All early childhood topics, disciplinary approaches, methodologies, and questions big or small are welcome. Please come prepared to provide friendly and constructive feedback to your colleagues.
One of our main goals for these Roundtables is to provide the Chicago early childhood research community with an informal space to connect and learn from colleagues across universities and institutions that has not previously existed. Moreover, our Roundtables are unique in that they bring together those who study a range of early childhood topics and have diverse disciplinary approaches, methodologies, and research questions.
Do you have work in progress or an idea that you want feedback on?
If you are interested in presenting and receiving feedback on your work at a future Roundtable, please contact Lauren Kearns at [email protected]. The work you share need not be about Chicago, but we do ask that it is still in progress and that you are open to feedback. In your email, please provide a brief description of your project, what kind of feedback you are looking for, how long you expect to need (a whole or half meeting). If you are working with any policy or practice partners, please confirm that it is okay with them that you share the work with this group.
