Osgood, Jayne; Andersen, Camilla Eline – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
In this paper we grapple with the ways in which real-world issues directly impact children's lives and ask "what else" gets produced through encounters with children's global news media, specifically within the contexts of the United Kingdom and Norway. Our aim is to experiment with storytelling and worldling practices as a means to open…

Rumberger, Alyson – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
Children's news media offers access points for students to learn about the complex and evolving world around them, and school libraries are spaces where students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to interact with media.

Lange, Troels; Meaney, Tamsin – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
Media for children reflects societal views about appropriate childhoods in that the content has been chosen based on adults' views of what is appropriate for children to engage with. In this article, the mathematics in puzzles and handicrafts in a selection of Danish children's magazines from 1925 to 1930 are analysed to understand the childhoods…

Gunn, Alexandra C.; Surtees, Nicola – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
Attending to current affairs and news within schools' curricula is a potential pedagogical strategy that holds promise for addressing children's knowledge, perspectives and agency in the world. However, our research suggests teachers' good intentions may be compromised by tension between the details of news media content and the curriculum as…

Aubrey, Carol Anita – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
This article uses autoethnography as the method of inquiry to explore definitions and contexts of early childhood education leadership. This affords a new space between the subjective and objective, the autobiographical and the cultural, to write in a way that lies between literature and the social sciences. Against a backcloth of scientific and…

Vijayadevar, Sukuna; Thornton, Kate; Cherrington, Sue – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019

Fairchild, Nikki – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
Engaging with posthuman theorising, this article puts to work a number of concepts to produce generative reimaginings of early years leadership.

In societies of control, power operates through neo-liberal corporate worlds via a…

Penn, Helen – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2019
This colloquium argues that writings on leadership in the early years commonly assume a service ethos. The aim of nurseries and other early childhood settings is to provide a service for children and their parents, and the task of leadership is seen to be to find effective ways of defining and realizing this aim. But increasingly, and especially…
