Doing Foucault in Early Childhood Studies

<P>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:</P><UL><LI>becoming post-structurally reflective about truth</LI><LI>mapping classroom meanings</LI><LI>tactics of rhizoanalysis</LI><LI>becoming again in critically-knowing communities.</LI></UL><P>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. </P>
