Hey Lara:

I  am also on my Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction, Elementary Education at the University of Alabama. I have expertise in the areas you have mentioned given my background in Early Childhood Education (B.ED, M.ED in ECE). I have done some research in ECE and some areas that you mentioned are of interest to me. I am currently working on Content with Discourse Analysis, (Mis)representation in discourse vis-a-vis primary sources.

I would like to partner with you if you so desire.  Let me know how best you would want us to share our email address if you think we can work together.

Regards,

Dear Lara Alameddine,

When I am studying literature for my doctoral thesis, I came across an article by Saras Chung  and Amanda Moore McBride, I think that  would be interesting for you. 

I am sanding you article as a PDF file.

I hope I have been some of help.

Good luck in your research.

Best wishes,

Andrija
