Re-Situating Canadian Early Childhood Education, Hardback Book

Re-Situating Canadian Early Childhood Education Hardback

Edited by Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw, Larry Prochner

Part of the Rethinking Childhood series

Hardback

Description

This book presents research exploring the potential for postfoundational theories to revitalize discussions in early childhood education.

In the past two decades, postfoundation theories (e.g., postmodern, poststructural, feminist, postcolonial, etc.) have revolutionized the field of early childhood education, but at the same time, little has been written about the value and potential of this movement within the context of Canada.

Postfoundational theories have the potential to disrupt normalizing early childhood education discourses that create and maintain social inequities, and to respect differences and diversities.

Given the importance of diversity in Canada, it seems relevant to explore further how postfoundational theories might transform early childhood education.
