Congratulations to Heather Kirkorian, the Laura M. Secord Chair in Early Childhood Development, department chair and professor of Human Development & Family Studies (HDFS), and faculty director of the UW Child Development Lab, who recently served on the Sesame Workshop digital well-being advisory board. Kirkorian was one of the opening speakers at the global nonprofit's advisory board meeting in New York. Many of Kirkorian's ideas that she shared are now being used the resources. Sesame Workshop published a guest article by Kirkorian, HDFS PhD alumna Bolim Suh '25, HDFS PhD student Jennica Li and HDFS research coordinator Eleanor Desing, on using media with awareness and intention. Human ecologists have a positive influence locally and all around the world—including friends like Elmo and the many children who watch enriching PBS programming: sesameworkshop.org/resources/mindful-choices-using-digital-media-with-awareness-and-intention #HumanEcology #SoHEProud #SesameStreet #...
