Across the globe the work of early childhood educators, who are
predominantly women, is misunderstood, underpaid and undervalued.
Perspectives on early childhood educators are highly contentious:
are they child development experts, oppressed workers, maternal
substitutes, technicians, facilitators of early learning, or
something else? This volume features chapter authors from
Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, the USA and New Zealand, examine
a range of contemporary feminist theories in relation to the early
childhood educator. The feminist theories covered include
materialist feminism, poststructural feminism, decolonizing
feminisms, posthumanist feminism, new materialist feminism,
feminist ethics of care, womanist feminism, postcolonial feminism,
femme theory and feminist queer theory. The editors of the volume
offer an introduction and commentaries that explore solidarities
and tensions between the feminisms to generate critical
conversations about the work, lived experiences, and agency of
early childhood educators. The volume contributes to shifting
understandings of the early childhood educator in the contexts of
culture, practice, policy and politics.
