Learn about the PLAY Project

The PLAY Project (conducted in collaboration with Dr. Chelsea Williams at Virginia Commonwealth University) is a mixed-methods pilot study that examines ethnic-racial socialization and ethnic-racial identity in parent-child dyads to advance understanding of how parents teach young children (ages 3 to 7) about race, ethnicity and culture.  For more information, contact Xiaoya Geng.
