Colleen Vesely, Ph.D., George Mason University Topic: Using Community-based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) Approaches with Families with Young Children.Register (https://chip.uconn.edu/inchip-lecture-colleen-vesely-ph-d/)Colleen K. Vesely, Ph.D (https://cehd.gmu.edu/people/faculty/cvesely/)., is an associate professor and graduate Academic Program Coordinator (APC) of Inclusive Early Childhood Education in the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Vesely's scholarship uses Community-based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approaches to transform systems of oppression and injustice within early care and education to create equity. Specifically, Dr. Vesely examines the experiences of young children and families who experience structural marginalization to understand how they navigate early care and education systems and spaces while negotiating parenthood in the U.S. She studies family partnership and family-led systems change, particularly among families from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, linguistic, and ability backgrounds. Dr. Vesely also leads work focused on developing preservice early childhood education teachers' knowledge, skills, and abilities for implementing antiracist pedagogy in their early childhood classrooms and programs. Dr. Vesely also contributed to creating tools to examine college-level equity data specific to race and gender. Dr. Vesely facilitates the Child Care and Early Education Research and Policy Consortium (within the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) Research Collaborative on Reimagining Family Partnership for Equity in Child Care and Early Education. Dr. Vesely's work has been funded by the Spencer Foundation (current Vision Grant Scholar), Fairfax County Office for Children, Bruhn Morris Family Foundation, Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Bernard van Leer Foundation.

About this Event This talk will examine a major trial of a group of Austrians accused of producing and distributing pornography domestically and abroad that took place in Vienna in early 1968. By analyzing the background to this case, the public discussions surrounding trial, and its aftermath, the talk will explore national and international anti-pornography campaigns in 20th-century Europe, the forces pushing for legalization, and how international law on obscenity became bound up in Austrian efforts to craft a new national identity after the Second World War.   About the SpeakerDavid Petruccelli is assistant professor of history at Dartmouth College specializing in modern European and international history. He received his PhD at Yale University in 2015 and has held affiliations with the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna, the Central European University, the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, and Graduate Institute in Geneva, and other European institutions. His first monograph, A Scourge of Humanity: The Origins of Interpol and the End of Empire in Central and Eastern Europe, was published by Oxford University Press in 2025. Articles related to this project have appeared in the American Historical Review, Contemporary European History, Journal of Contemporary History,and other journals and edited volumes. He is currently working on a new book project examining the international prohibition and subsequent legalization of pornography in the twentieth century.   Sponsors This event is hosted by the History of Human Rights Collective, part of the Research Program on Humanitarianism (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/humanitarianism/) (RPH) at the Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute.

Chemistry Colloquium Entrepreneurship and Startups After Graduation Gregory Sotzing, UConn | Host: PLU

Overview This year, federal funding for science has been substantially slowed and, in some areas, eliminated altogether. As a result, many researchers are turning to foundations to secure the necessary funding to continue their important work. But what should investigators consider when applying for foundation grants? And what are some of the key differences between federal funding and foundation funding? Join us as InCHIP brings together a panel of experienced principal investigators who have successfully secured foundation funding to address these questions and more. Register below.Confirmed panelists include:Marlene Schwartz, PhD, Director of the UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy and Health, Professor, Department of Human Development and Family SciencesFrances Fleming, PhD, Director of Marketing Initiatives at the UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy and HealthMolly Waring, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Allied Health SciencesKerri Raissian, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at Yale UniversityEvent DetailsWhen: Thursday, November 6, 2025 | 2:00pm-3:00pm, followed by a 30 minute Q&A.Location: VIRTUALIntended audience: UConn and UConn Health faculty seeking to submit a foundation grant and graduate students involved in relevant research.Register (https://chip.uconn.edu/foundation-funding-virtual-workshop/)
