Description
Summary:This edited volume illuminates how intimate relations with place can transform early childhood pedagogy by presenting a diverse range of situated place stories. The book begins to answer big questions facing the early childhood education community at a time when both researchers and educators grapple with their responsibility (and response-ability) to initiate and inspire alternative environmental ethics and anticolonial approaches that invite active participation from children, families, and communities. Chapters include work from Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and educators who center the role of place in cultural identity, community building, and anticolonial projects throughout their work and teaching. Iris Berger is Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Language and Literacy at the University of British Columbia, Canada
