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). 410 0$aChildren: Global Posthumanist Perspectives and Materialist Theories,$x2523-3416 606 $aEducation 606 $aChildren 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aSex 606 $aChildhood Education 606 $aEducational Philosophy 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aChildren. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aChildhood Education. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a370.83 700 $aSchofield$b Lindsay Michelle$01886060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049177703321 996 $aEcologies of Touch$94521456 997 $aUNINA
