20th EECERA conference: ‘KNOWLEDGE AND VOICE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD: who knows, who speak

06.09.2010 - 08.09.2010, Birmingham: The conference will explore the theme through three perspectives: i. ‘Who Knows’: Conceptualising Knowledge & Voice This perspective explores how ‘knowledge’ in early childhood is constructed, who controls the dominant discourse and who has ‘voice’ in its generation and applications. It also aims to identify new ways in which knowledge might be developed and how it might become more multi-layered with inclusive and active participation in the process of knowledge construction. ii. ‘Who Speaks’: Exploring Innovative Paradigms & Methodologies This perspective focuses on new paradigms and methodologies which are emerging in early childhood research and practice. In particular, participatory paradigms which aim to actively include the voices of children, parents and practitioners are to be explored. The current status and value of knowledge generated from such methodologies is also contested. iii. ‘Who Listens’: Knowledge & Voice in Action This perspective focuses on how knowledge is generated through listening more actively to alternative voices, particularly from children, parents and practitioners, and how this knowledge is being used to shape research, practice and policy. It also aims to explore actions which generate more symmetrical dialogues between a diverse range of participants in ECEC and how power might be more equitably distributed in the shaping of early childhood provision.
