3. Reconceptualising and (Re)Forming Early Childhood Professional Identities: Ongoing Transnational Policy Discussions

Author

Arndt, Sonja, Smith, Kylie, Urban, Mathias, Ellegaard, Thomas, Blue Swadener, Beth, and Murray, Colette

Abstract

Problematic policy constructions of the purpose of education implicate professional identities and working conditions of professionals working with the youngest children. This paper builds on our earlier writing, to contest teacher professional identities in Australia, Ireland, Denmark and the United States of America, to illustrate the crucial importance of contextualised policy landscapes in early childhood education and care. It uses prevailing policy constructions, power imbalances and tensions in defining teacher identities, to ask crucial questions, such as what has become of the professional 'self'. It questions the fundamental ethics of care and encounter, and of worthy wage and other campaigns focused on the well-being of teachers when faced with a world-wide crisis. The cross-national conversations culminate in a contemporary confrontation of teacher identity and imperatives in increasingly uncertain times as evolving in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Contesting Early Childhood Professional Identities: A Cross-National Discussion

Author

Arndt, Sonja, Urban, Mathias, Murray, Colette, Smith, Kylie, Swadener, Beth, and Ellegaard, Tomas

Abstract

In this collective article, the authors explore constructions of early childhood practitioners and how they disconnect and reconnect in a global neo-liberal education policy context. The contributions to the conversation provide windows into shifting professional identities across five national contexts: New Zealand, the USA, Ireland, Australia and Denmark. The authors ask who benefits from the notion of distinct professional identities, linked to early childhood education as locally and culturally embedded practice. They conceptualize teachers' shifting subjectivities, drawing on Kristeva's philosophical conception of identity as constantly in construction, open and evolving. Arguments for the urgency to counter the global uniformity machine, streamlined curricula, standardized assessment and deprofessionalization are not new. However, the authors wonder whether these arguments are missing something. Does our localized and highly contextualized identity construction enable 'divide and rule' politics by global agents such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Bank and international corporations? The authors' (preliminary) answer is to build individual and collective professional identities that are grounded in diverse local contexts and in a broader transnational professional (political) consciousness and collective voice.

6. 'I understand. And I'm with you': RECE as Home, (un)Doing, Belonging, (dis)Place(ment) and (in)Security.

Author

Murray, Colette and Myers, Casey Y

Subjects
VIGNETTES (Teaching technique), EARLY childhood education, SECURITY (Psychology), SOCIAL belonging, HOUSING
Abstract

Drawing upon slow scholarship and autobiographical methods, this paper presents four vignettes constructed from virtual meetings across the span of several months. Although we had originally intended to write a more formal paper about the ways in which the reconceptualist movement connects to our own scholarship, the writing process became less efficient and more personal than we expected as we connected to each other around the idea(l)s of home, (un)doing, belonging, (dis)place(ment) and (in)security. Although we attempted to narrate the ways in which reconceptualism has been instrumental in shaping our identities and scholarship, we found that this paper became moreso a re-representation of reconceptualism-at-work.
