Sims, Margaret; Alexander, Elise; Nislin, Mari; Pedey, Karma; Tausere-Tiko, Lavinia; Sajaniemi, Nina – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2018
We contend that the conventions, practices and philosophies underpinning working with infants and toddlers provide an alternative way of viewing early childhood work, and such a perspective may well help to challenge the 'wicked problem' of neoliberalism. It is in this context that we propose that a deeper understanding of the perspectives of…
