Timmons, Kristy; Airton, Lee – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2023
This research takes up the challenge of interpreting the two newest grounds of human rights protection across Canada -- gender identity and gender expression -- for professional practice in early childhood education.

Davies, Adam W. J.; Simone-Balter, Alice; van Rhijn, Tricia – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2023
Open conversations regarding sexuality education and gender and sexual diversity with young children in early childhood education settings are still highly constrained.

Land, Nicole; Vintimilla, Cristina Delgado; Pacini-Ketchabaw, Veronica; Angus, Lucille – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2022
The authors propose decentering the child as a critical motion in the education of pedagogists who work to refuse developmental pedagogies in early childhood education. Tracing how child-centered developmental practices are obstacles for deeper ethical and intellectual work and reiterate anthropocentric relationalities, they offer two propositions…

Brady, Janelle – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2022
As a Black feminist scholar who teaches in an early childhood studies program, the author has witnessed how dominant theories and methods used for pre-service early childhood education and care disconnect students from their lived experiences. The detachment of social location in theoretical text, and particularly in developmental discourse, is…

Beltran-Sellitti, Elaine; Shayan, Tahmina – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2022
Public art is placed in relation to its surroundings, conveying messages that are open to interpretation and thus proposing conversations between art/aesthetics, geography, histories and the subjectivity of the viewer. As such, it can engender possibilities to 'politicize our relations with place'. Embracing the vision of a multidisciplinary…

Richardson, Brooke; Langford, Rachel – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2022
This article offers a theoretical provocation through conceptualizing a pedagogy of care as a means of caring "with" students and each other to interrupt the dominance of developmentalism in Canadian post-secondary early childhood education programs. The authors' conceptualization of care-"full" as pedagogy is rooted in the…

Bezaire, Kimberly P.; Johnston, Lisa K. – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2022
The stubborn dominance of objectivity in child observation in pre-service early childhood education warrants letting go of as we confront its limitations as outdated, problematic, Eurocentric, neo-liberal and even racist. In the context of recent aims to establish 'critically reflective' practices, such as 'pedagogical documentation' and…

Laidlaw, Linda; O'Mara, Joanne; Wong, Suzanna So Har – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2021
Contemporary children are growing up in a post-typographic era, where mobile electronic devices and digital texts are increasingly present. For parents and educators, shifts into new digital practices and new text forms can create a sense of uncertainty. In response to parent and teacher interest, popular media have frequently focused on topics…

This article documents the initial work and encounters of a pedagogista with a group of educators on the west coast of Canada.

They followed a practice…

Nxumalo, Fikile – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2016
This article seeks to contribute towards an unsettling of dominant framings of quality pedagogical practices. The author puts to work the figure of the modest witness as a way of storying everyday pedagogical encounters in childhood settings that might refigure quality in practice as materialized more-than-human becomings. Working within the…

Dachyshyn, Darcey M. – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2015
We have been in the postmodern turn for some time in early years care and education. As a result, much has been said and written about what policies, theories, and practices we no longer wish to see govern us. However, alternative ways of being in the world with young children still are reticent to take hold. Proposed here is a turn…

Land, Nicole – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2015
In Canada, forces such as the media, medical discourse, and public policy work to position childhood obesity as increased body fat content or excess adiposity due to various personal, social, and economic factors. Drawing on Barad's "agential realist ontology", this article aims to inhabit-with obesity in an effort to disrupt dominant…
