دانلود کتاب Theorizing Feminist Ethics of Care in Early Childhood Practice: Possibilities and Dangers

This book responds to a growing academic interest in theorizing care and care work in the early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector. The contributors theorize a new feminist ethics of care in everyday early childhood practice, revealing its complexities and importance. Drawing on feminist theories and philosophies, the chapter authors show how the caring practices of early childhood educators involve values, emotions, decision-making, action and work. Using cutting-edge theory, authors address the social locations and the inclusion and exclusion of both care givers and care receivers. With contributions from Belgium, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA, the volume brings together early childhood studies, sociology, psychology, philosophy and critical disability studies to offer diverse perspectives on feminist ethics of care in early childhood practice and its possibilities and dangers.



Review
“I am excited by this book: It is a theoretically rich collection of work on what care – and feminist ethics of care – might mean in early childhood practice. Grounded in early childhood research, its insights challenge and delight in equal measure as they disrupt, broaden and search for transformative re-configurations of discourses and pedagogies of care.” ― Carmen Dalli, Professor of Early Childhood Childhood Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
