Contemporary Psychoanalytic Approaches to Early Childhood Education
Contemporary Psychoanalytic Approaches to Early Childhood Education edited by Alex Collopy offers critical analyses of psychoanalytic theory to provide a deeper understanding of the construction and education of young children from infancy to age eight, focusing on the experiences of children with identified disabilities, social, emotional, gender, linguistic, racial, and socioeconomic differences. It also provides portraits of early childhood practice and early childhood teacher trainings to demonstrate the potential of psychoanalysis as both a lens for understanding the dynamic nature of being, development and learning, and as a creative, multimodal method for facilitating new relationships between the inner and relational worlds of children and adults. Written by and for scholars and professional educators in curriculum and instruction, school psychology, infant mental health, social work, and allied professions, this book provides insight into the histories, present, and potential futures of psychoanalysis within and across education spaces as an act of advocacy for young children.
Critiquing Social and Emotional Learning
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has been steadily gaining traction in education, but little attention has been paid to its underlying assumptions. In Critiquing Social and Emotional Learning:Psychodynamic and Cultural Perspectives, Clio Stearns draws on qualitative classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of prominent SEL program materials to offer a critique of SEL as a codified phenomenon. Stearns questions undergirding presumptions about children, teachers, and SEL’s interplay with cultural and educational trends. Claiming that SEL participates in cultural demands for “hegemonic positivity,” Stearns illustrates the dangers and undesirable demands of this impossib...
Childhood beyond Pathology
Brings psychoanalytic concepts to the notion of childhood development with a keen eye to discussions of social justice and human dignity. Childhood beyond Pathology offers an account of the ways that psychoanalytic concepts can inform ongoing challenges of representing development, belonging, and relationality, with a focus on debates over how children should be treated, what they might know, and who they should become. Drawing from fiction, clinical studies, and courtroom and classroom contexts, Lisa Farley explores a series of five conceptual figuresthe replacement child, the neurodiverse child, the counterfeit child, the child heir of historical trauma, and the gender divergent childw...
The 'Story-Takers'
The Story-Takers charts new territory in public pedagogy through an exploration of the multiple forms of communal protests against the mafia in Sicily. Writing at the rich juncture of cultural, feminist, and psychoanalytic theories, Paula M. Salvio draws on visual and textual representations including shrines to those murdered by the mafia, photographs, and literary and cinematic narratives, to explore how trauma and mourning inspire solidarity and a quest for justice among educators, activists, artists, and journalists living and working in Italy. Salvio reveals how the anti-mafia movement is being brought out from behind the curtains, with educators leading the charge. She critically analyses six cases of communal acts of anti-mafia solidarity and argues that transitional justice requires radical approaches to pedagogy that are best informed by journalists, educators, and activists working to remember, not only victims of trauma, but those who resist trauma and violence.

Theorising Public Pedagogy
Drawing on the ideas of Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault, this book extends the theoretical understanding of public pedagogy and brings into sharp focus the elements that constitute the public realm; the site of public pedagogy. Karen Charman and Mary Dixon offer a new theorisation of the public, a term at the heart of debate in the field, heightened in this post-truth era by the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise of fake news and the technological reconfigurations of public life. The new theorization addresses the ‘public’, ‘pedagogy’ and their confluence in ‘public pedagogy’. The book explores a deep engagement with the architecture and dynamics of pedagogy and argues for the positio...
Honoring the Moment in Young Children's Lives
Deftly weaving anthropology, sociology, psychology, and theories of education, Honoring the Moment in Young Children’s Lives invites us to remake our image of the child and truly appreciate children’s lives as we see through their eyes. Honor the moments you spend with young children with a deeper understanding of their perspective and whole selves and use the unique position of educator to translate children’s moments, both ordinary and extraordinary, for their families and communities. Take the next step in observing and documenting young children and step into the role of researcher, an ethnographer who takes a close-up look and uses that rich knowledge to advocate for children’s rights and needs.
Precarities of 21st Century Childhoods
This book locates internally focused, critical perspectives regarding the social, political, emotional, and mental growth of children. Through the radical openness afforded by psychoanalytic and related frameworks, this volume illuminates, promotes, and helps situate subjectivities that are often blotted out for both the child and society. The overall emphasis is on motifs of lostness and foundness, in terms of the geographies of the psycho-social, and how such motifs govern and regulate what have come to count as the normative indexes of childhood as well as how they exclude other real childhoods.
