Professor Michael Ego was recently interviewed on the Richard French Live talk show on the Regional News Network about the Legacy of WWII Japanese Internment Camps. Watch the interview.

Associate Professor Annamaria Csizmadia received funding for her proposal to the Provost’s Academic Plan Mini Grant Competition.  Her project, “Promoting Active Learning through Blended and Flipped Classroom Design in HDFS Graduate Education: Revision of HDFS 5102: Early and Middle Childhood Development” will involve creating online resources for providing this graduate course in a blended/flipped/hybrid format.  These resources will be valuable not only for Annamaria, but for anyone else in HDFS who might teach this course in the future.

Assistant Professor Ryan Watson’s project, “Transgender Erasure and Exclusion: Next Steps in the Discourses at the Nexus of Gender Identity, Policy and Health” received funding from the Public Discourse Project at UConn.  Ryan will be editing a special issue for the International Journal of Transgenderism titled, “Today’s transgender youth: Health, well-being, and opportunities for resilience”, and the organization of a group of stakeholders at UConn and the CT community that deal with transgender students to identity and enact the next steps to better the health and well-being of the population.
