Dr. Amber Friesen, Dr. Maryssa Mitsch, and Doctoral Candidate Karina Du have recently had their co-edited book published – congratulations! Titled Advancing Equity and Inclusion in Early Childhood, this work profiles many of their esteemed colleagues/students including Dr. Maria Zavala (Elem), Dr. Mayumi Hagiwara (SPED), Dr. Maryssa K. Mitsch (SPED), Dr. Erica Bosque (Social Work), and 6 doctorate students from our joint program with UC-Berkeley including Sara Burton Ucar, Karina Du, Jaqueline Anton, Prince Estanislao, John Kim and Hadas Arbit. They hope this book contributes to the growing number of voices seeking meaningful, high-quality, equitable and inclusive opportunities for young children, their families, and the communities they live within them. Congratulations to all these authors, and to Amber, Maryssa, and Karina for conceptualizing and collecting this important work into one volume.
