Digital screening for postnatal depression
Background Around 17 % of mothers experience postnatal depression (PND) in the year after childbirth, with suicide the leading cause of direct maternal death between 6 weeks and 12 months postpartum. As approximately half of PND cases go undetected, digital screening tools have been developed to improve identification. However, implementing innovations into routine care is challenging, with contextual factors and staff views influencing uptake. T…
Rewriting the Narrative
The concept of 'food justice' recognizes the systemic injustices embedded in the U.S. food system and the urgent need for transformative policies to ensure equitable access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally relevant food. Limited access to these foods drives food insecurity and increases the prevalence of diet-related diseases in low-income and minority communities. Dominant narratives that individualize hunger and food insecurity often b…
Fear and Othering in the inclusive early childhood classroom
Inclusive policies in early childhood classrooms have in recent decades become mainstream [UNESCO. 1994. The UNESCO Salamanca statement and framework for action on special educational needs. Paris: UNESCO]. Inclusive practices however are far from ideal [Slee, R. 2013. “How do we make inclusive education happen when exclusion is a political predisposition?” International Journal of Inclusive Education 17 (8): 895–907; Grace, R, G. Llewellyn, N. W…
Children’s voices
Young children in many parts of the world are spending more time in formal education and care settings. As children have the right to be heard on matters that affect them, their views about the early childhood environments they inhabit, need to be included in the process of placemaking. Early childhood environments have the potential to shape a child’s identity, sense of belonging and inclusion. This research sought children’s ideas about their e…
Unspeakable
For the children in the inclusive early childhood classroom, there are acceptable, but only limited ways to speak about disability, and sometimes no way to speak. Discourses of tragedy and suffering have a pervasive, and historically resilient, association with disability in education. A subject of tragedy is discursively created in the classroom via discourses of development and special education, as one who is in need of sympathy, remediation a…
Inside the 'Inclusive' Early Childhood Classroom
Special’ non-human actors in the ‘inclusive’ early childhood classroom
It is well established in research that early childhood classrooms are one of the most controlled environments during the human life course. When control is discussed, the enactment of regulatory frameworks and various discourses are analysed but less focus is paid on the materialities of classrooms. In this article, we pay attention to ‘special’ non-human actors present in an ‘inclusive’ early childhood classroom. These ‘special’ non-human actor…
