Specifically, it examines the stains of developmental psychology and Early Childhood (EC) trajectories that haunt such contexts. In order to explore how students’ bodies flow through their studies of early childhood, it also considers how babies and students become-with the Higher Education (HE) classroom, baby-room and worldly materiality; the visible and invisible boundaries that maternal deprivation and attachment theories produce; how developmental theories of psychology are anchored in the policies and practices of EC; and how all that is the discursive, affects–proposing that these explorations have the potential to open bodies towards the precarious landscapes’ pedagogues navigate with HE students and the possibility of new ways of being. This book troubles the 'conventional conceptions for how we understand and research' the 'human child in early childhood contexts' through a deep immersion in feminist thinking and the neologisms of spacetimemattering, mothersick, Bowlb(arbar)ian and (gh)host(ile)(ly).Children: Global Posthumanist Perspectives and Materialist Theories,2523-3416EducationChildrenEducationPhilosophyEducation, HigherEducational sociologySexChildhood EducationEducational PhilosophyHigher EducationSociology of EducationGender StudiesEducation.Children.EducationPhilosophy.Education, Higher.Educational sociology.Sex.Childhood Education.Educational Philosophy.Higher Education.Sociology of Education.Gender Studies.370.83Schofield Lindsay Michelle1886060MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911049177703321Ecologies of Touch4521456UNINA
