Ten propositions for a democratic politics of early childhood education

Abstract

This colloquium presents 10 propositions, the product of reflecting on many years in the early childhood field, that are offered as one possible agenda for a democratic politics of early childhood education (ECE). They start by asserting that ECE is first and foremost a political and ethical practice and end by insisting on the urgency of transformative change and the imperative of helping the new to be born.
