Drawing on a working feminist manifesto, it calls for resisting the anti-intellectualism that continues to shape the field and for engaging pedagogical work as deeply political and ethical. It proposes decentering the child as a critical move, challenging developmental logics that privilege mastery and linearity, and instead opening space for more complex relational engagements. Finally, it attends to the situated work of pedagogists, tracing modes of response such as reading, interpreting, interrupting, and asking unconventional questions. These are offered not as competencies, but as gestures that orient pedagogical encounters toward invention. Taken together, the lecture argues for reimagining early childhood education as a relational commons, where pedagogists participate in composing conditions for thinking otherwise.About the speakerVeronica Pacini-Ketchabaw is a Professor of Early Childhood Education in the Faculty of Education at Western University in Ontario, Canada. Her funded research program, spanning the global South and North, focuses on the reconceptualisation of early childhood at the critical junctions of ecological and social justice. This work is developed through her involvement with the Climate Action Childhood Network and the Common Worlds Research Collective.Venue informationThis event will be held in Godfrey Thomson Hall, Thomson's Land at Moray House School of Education and Sport, the University of Edinburgh.
