CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education presents us with different experiences, points of contradiction, moments of tension, and different ways to conceptualize spaces of possibility in early education and child care. This conference will provide a forum for teachers/caregivers, researchers, advocates, policymakers, families, children, and other practitioners to explore the spaces connecting different traditions of research, theory, practice and policy within early childhood education and child care, as well as childhood studies. What can we learn by speaking across, within, and through different traditions of practice, theory, research, and policies in ways that will illuminate alliances and allies, coalitions, meeting points, and ‘sameness’ while also leaving spaces for ‘difference.’ How can we bridge difference while also acknowledging the critical importance of critique and difference that this conference brings to dialogue in early education and child care as well as childhood studies work?
