Early childhood educators’ understandings of quality in five countries: Similarities and differences to policy
Early childhood educators work in a highly regulated environment in many countries and are constantly asked to produce and improve quality. Our international study of Australian, Canadian, Danish, Georgian and Italian educators’ work examined their notions of quality and how this was impacted by government policies and documents such as frameworks, standards and curricula. Quantitative data were analysed using cross-tabulation and descriptive sta…
Contextualised, Not Neoliberalised, Approaches to Families in Five Countries: Quality and Practice
Partnerships with parents in early childhood education and care services are a hallmark of quality education. Educators in Western countries work within a highly regulated environment, where government documents, such as frameworks, standards, and curricula, direct most of their work, time, and energy. Despite this, data from our mixed methods online survey from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Georgia, and Italy revealed a strong resistance to the ho…
Educator identity in a neoliberal context: Recognising and supporting early childhood education and care educators
In most majority countries, early childhood educators’ work occurs in a context increasingly dominated by neoliberal logic. A large body of literature emphasises that neoliberalism flourishes in society by fuelling mutual distrust and competition among people to pursue individual performance and material gain. This system has crept into education systems which were set up with very different philosophies, becoming an intrinsic part of educators’ …
Troubling Popularisation: On the Gendered Circuits of a ‘Scientific’ Knowledge of Sex
With the recent transnational turn in sexology studies, scholars have been highly effective in demonstrating the dialogical nature of exchanges between sexologists and other professionals. Even so, the problem of what counts as “sexological” still haunts the field. One way to circumvent this impasse on the vexing question of disciplinarity is to, first, think about knowledge production in relation to knowledge exchange and, second, bring gender i…
Then and Now: What the ‘Queer’ Portrait Can Teach Us about the ‘New’ Longue Durée
When we fix our gaze on a sexual object in the context of queer remembrance the pull toward a linear narrative of homosexual emancipation is hard to resist. The use of queer portraiture in the Tate Britain’s exhibition (‘Queer British Art, 1861–1967’), marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act (1967), provides a good opportunity for reflecting on the limits and possibilities of expecting resemblance across time. Identifying the …
Marie Stopes's Wonderful Rhythm Charts: Normalizing the Natural
Historians of sexuality credit marital advice with disseminating a modern discourse of the sexual, as developed by sexologists who understood sex as normal or abnormal. Marie Stopes did not reproduce their findings but drew on the methods of biometricians in attempting to normalize the natural. Thinking about Stopes's methods in discerning a naturally occurring curve of normal female sex-impulses in relation to Havelock Ellis points to constraint…
Queer History Queer Memory
If we are serious about producing knowledge of the past in all its complexity-that is, as something we think that we know already as well as pastness in all its radical strangeness-it is vital to grasp the epistemological consequences in conceptualizing practices in oppositional terms, a tendency pervasive among historians and queer specialists alike. Using the case of Alan Turing to unpick this oppositional logic reveals the paralyzing effects o…

Lesbian Studies After The Lesbian Postmodern: Toward a New Genealogy
While Lesbian Studies is established as a commodity in the academic marketplace, its disciplinary contours are rather more obscure-and even more problematically, its disciplinary genealogy remains somewhat crude. The dominant genealogy of Lesbian Studies might best be characterized as a 'collision model,' a battle between politics and theory, even though much existing scholarship draws on both Lesbian-Feminist Theory and Queer Theory.1 This artic…
