Ideologies provide cultural stories that affect young children's understanding of their place in society. These narratives influence the learning environments of our youth, sometimes validating certain groups while marginalizing others. This Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series piece is strikingly relevant to the current socio-political climate, exploring the often-overlooked impact of political ideologies on young children’s development. Co-authors Hirokazu Yoshikawa, professor at New York University and co-director of its NYU Global TIES for Children, and Dr. Andrew Nalani, Ph.D., assistant professor at Vanderbilt University are calling on fellow social scientists to study the influence of political ideology on young children and contribute to the early childhood sector’s potential to counter ideologies that increase inequality. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4fq18HZ #ChildDevelopment #SocialJustice #Equity #FCDConversationSeries
