Description

This module introduces constructions and deconstructions of early childhood education as a social, cultural, economic, anthropological, biological, psychological, political, and historical phenomenon. Students will consider possibilities of interpreting early childhood education as a right of the child, a concept, a process, a business, and a field of study while analysing international definitions, perspectives and understandings at individual, national and global levels. The module will provide opportunities for interrogating and deciphering meanings and ambiguities of early childhood education considering intersectionalities of gender, 鈥榬ace鈥�, socioeconomic status/class, and socio-cultural backgrounds alongside ensuing taken-for-granted assumptions. The module aims to open critical spaces for deepening understandings of early childhood education that underpin the programme.
