Ron Grady
- Research Fellow
Ron is a third-year doctoral student at HGSE whose work strives to center the lives and voices of young children through modalities including play, art, story/narrative, and photography. Ron also works extensively with educators interested in developing and deepening practices rooted in reflection on, inquiry into, and translation of the social, emotional, and aesthetic aspects of their classroom ecosystems. His current projects include an ongoing ethnographic study of community and relationship in preschool (based in Massachusetts) and of school culture (in New Orleans, LA and in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada).
Ron currently serves on the editorial boards of the Harvard Educational Review and NAEYC’s Voices of Practitioners. He is also the author/illustrator of the children’s books What Does Brown Mean to You? (2023) and Beatrice Looks for Home (2025) as well as the author of Honoring the Moment in young Children’s Lives: Observation, Documentation, and Reflection (Redleaf Press).
