Under the rubric of the politics of care, the 2011 conference theme draws together three life-sustaining and affirming concepts – knowledges, love and solidarity. These concepts are usually dealt with separately in dominant policy and practice discourses. We invite participants to critically engage with their interrelationships. By co-implicating and entangling the mind and the heart, emotions and politics, the individual and the collective, and the public and the private, the conference theme opens a space for rethinking, reclaiming and reconnecting these terms and concepts. Thus it intentionally and necessarily opens to a multitude of understandings, readings and interpretations. We welcome debate around the theme’s affordances for reconceptualising ethics, inclusion and activism in early childhood education.
Possible questions that this theme may evoke include (but are by no means restricted to):
