The US Play Coalition is broadening our research efforts through a play research team at Clemson University. We have brought together a cross-section of faculty across all disciplines to approach play research from a variety of perspectives. There is a world of possibilities for new research and initiatives around play! If you would like to connect with our Play Research Team, please email Stephanie Garst, Executive Director of the US Play Coalition.
