Tran N. Templeton is an Assistant Professor in Early Childhood at Teachers College, Columbia University. Taking up a critical childhoods framework that troubles the adult-child binary, Tran's work grapples with questions of how particular social and political structures, policies, and phenomena are brought to bear on childhoods, as well as how young children continually work to negotiate and refigure their social worlds and identities. Prior to receiving her doctorate, Tran was a special education teacher in Houston, Texas, the founding program director of Colegio Monarch Guatemala in Guatemala City, and an early childhood teacher.
