** Young Scholars Program Spotlight:
Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair
------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair’s work explores the relationship between children’s agency and development as well as how institutional racism impacts how much individual and collective agency young children get to enact at school. The disparities that exist in the educational experiences of young children and the racialization of those experiences led her to apply to the Foundation for Child Development Young Scholars Program (YSP). As a member of the 2012 cohort, she examined how young children’s agency impacted their social and academic development. Methodologically, Adair is qualitative researcher specializing in video-cued ethnography and an educational anthropologist by training.
