Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series Blog
Our Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series journey continues with a new blog post challenging the prevailing, harmful norms in early childhood education from Erikson Institute President, Mariana Souto-Manning.
Explore the profound impact of racial biases on children's learning experiences and discover how historical narratives have marginalized communities of color guided by thought-provoking questions such as:
- What harms have been caused in early education?
- What obligations do researchers have in addressing systemic injustices?
- How can we redefine "quality" to be more inclusive?
- What innovative approaches can researchers take to repair harms and foster justice?
The research community can play a critical role in dismantling oppressive systems and advocating for a more equitable and just society for all young children. This contribution to our #FCDConversationSeries reimagines the future of early childhood education, where collaboration, restorative justice, and an assets-based approach lead the way in doing so.
