Yale and Uconn announce the Haskins Global Literacy Hub to help improve literacy outcomes locally and globally.
University of Connecticut Waterbury is partnering with the Yale School of Medicine Child Study Center and UConn Global Affairs to form the Haskins Global Literacy Hub to help improve literacy outcomes locally and globally. The new partnership was first announced Tuesday, Apr. 23, 2024, during the second annual WISHfest at the Palace Theater in Waterbury. (See the story in the Republic-American.)
The Haskins Global Literacy Hub is a collaborative initiative focused on bridging the gap between basic scientific research and practical, global efforts to improve literacy. It operates as a multi-institutional network, with key centers at Yale University’s Child Study Center, led by Linda Mayes (referred to as the “Global Literacy Hub” at Yale), and at UConn Waterbury, led by Fumiko Hoeft, as well as UConn Storrs/Global, led by Dan Weiner (referred to as the “Haskins Global Literacy Hub” at UConn). With a global reach, the Hub promotes cross-cultural literacy research and educational outreach. The literacy hubs at Yale and UConn are unified under a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed in April 2024, and continue to be led by Ben Powers, Maureen Lovett, and Jay Russell.
In parallel, Haskins Laboratories coexists with the Haskins Global Literacy Hub, operating under the same structure at both Yale and UConn with global institutional partners and researchers, and under the same MOU. It is co-led by Vince Gracco, Jay Rueckl, Nicole Landi, Fumiko Hoeft, and Ken Pugh. Haskins Laboratories has a long-standing interdisciplinary focus on speech, language, and reading, contributing to our understanding of the biological basis of language and literacy, from brain mechanisms to learning processes. The Labs are supported by Yale, UConn, and numerous grants, and host collaborative research projects and the Haskins Seminar Series.
