Teachers College, Columbia University
Haeny Yoon is an Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research looks at how teachers and children negotiate spaces of play as a pedagogical, curricular, and intellectual practice. She is a co-host of a Digital Futures Institute (DFI) at Teachers College produced podcast, Pop and Play, holding serious and wacky conversations with researchers, educators, designers, children, and media-makers about the role of play and creativity in their personal and professional life. Together with colleagues at DFI, her work focuses on intergenerational and interdisciplinary intersections of play and literacy that merges both academic and public conversations across platforms and spaces.
