This conference invites you to explore the place of children's rights, human rights and equity throughout the early childhood and children's services field – in pedagogies, practices, programs, policies, theories and research. Share stories of hope, challenge and/or change. Inspire and be inspired. Challenge and be challenged to make a difference through your work in the field.
We invite seminars, colloquia, papers, workshops, learning circles and posters that explore questions such as:
• What troubles us and what should we trouble to honour children's rights and honour equity?
• How can/do we act as change agents in our local contexts to make a difference?
• What are the limits and the possibilities in working for equity in diverse cultural contexts?
• What do we need to rethink and/or do differently to construct safer and fairer lives for all children?
• How do we/should work with cultural dissensions and tensions?
• How can we know the world differently in order to transform it?
We welcome diverse theoretical and cultural perspectives that challenge us to think and act differently.
Deadline for submission of abstract: 30 June 06
