What existing or unrealised modalities of educational thought and practice will sustain us, and what fresh ideas arise when possibilities are brought to bear on unknowable futures? This question has inspired many Indigenous and non-Indigenous thinkers to conceive new possibilities that can be utilised in and beyond the early years. This course invites imaginative encounters with some of these thinkers, their modalities of thought and what these might offer the Early Years. Students will apply selected modes of thinking and theoretical concepts to their own educational environments, with a view to stimulating alternatives to current realities.
On the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:1. Develop specialist knowledge about key thinkers and their modes of thinking and theoretical concepts2. Critically analyse the relevance of a range of modes of thinking and theoretical concepts for the early years and beyond3. Apply selected modes of thinking and theoretical concepts to debates in the field of real life contexts4. Generate alternatives to current realities
