Amanda R. Fellner, Ed.D. is a Lecturer in the Curriculum and Teaching Department at Teachers College, Columbia University and the Faculty Co-Director at the Rita Gold Early Childhood Center, also located at Teachers College, Columbia University. Using ethnographic and multimodal methods, her current work examines young children’s spatial practices in playgrounds, valuing movement and embodied ways of being while investigating the playful engagements of very young children across spaces. Amanda is also engaged in research that looks more broadly at classroom practices in early care and education settings while focused on bringing the lived experiences of both children and teachers into view.
