The unfinished business of conceptualising young children’s rights in early childhood and educational care settings

(Re)conceptualising children’s rights in infant-toddler care and education: Transnational conversations focuses on conceptualising young children’s rights in early childhood and educational care (ECEC) settings. Grounded in research, this edited collection makes a positive addition to the sparse range of existing literature in this field. The contributions present varied examples of practice from different international contexts including Australia, Chile, England, Germany, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, the United States and Finland, thus encouraging the expression of a broad range of perspectives on meanings attributed to children’s rights in ECEC settings. Throughout the book, children’s rights are understood within the context of rights enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (UN, Citation1989), and each chapter explores how these rights are conceptualised in ECEC settings with infants and toddlers under the age of three.
