(Re)conceptualising Children's Rights in Infant-Toddler Care and Education (eBook, PDF)

Transnational Conversations

Redaktion: Press, Frances; Cheeseman, Sandra

Beschreibung

This book brings together researchers from a variety of national contexts to examine and explore the conceptualisation, reconceptualisation and translation of children's rights for infants and toddlers in early childhood education and care settings.It brings together authors from various national contexts to examine changing understandings and manifestations of infant and toddler rights in Early Childhood Education and Care.

The book aims to engender trans-national dialogue through the contributions. Through such dialogue, both authors and readers are challenged to recognise the specificity of their own cultural contexts and thereby envision a more expansive view of infant and toddler rights. By drawing together reflections on infant-toddler rights from key early childhood researchers across the world, this book will extend readers understandings of rights - not only in terms of how rights are (re)conceptualised but also how to meaningfully translatethe rights afforded in policy to practice.
