This book shows the important contribution that Foucault and other poststructural theorists can make to research and practice in early childhood.

Description

The theories and analyses of post-structural thinkers such as Michel Foucault can seem a long way from practice in early childhood services. In recent years, however, many early childhood researchers and practitioners have found this work important, and this fascinating book brings together a range of research and case studies showing how teachers and researchers have brought post-structuralism to the classroom.

The book covers such issues as:

Becoming post-structurally reflective about truth
Mapping classroom meanings
Tactics of rhizoanalysis
Becoming again in critically-knowing communities

Case studies and examples taken from real situations are used and will be of interest to anyone studying or researching early childhood practice and policy.
