Doing Foucault in Early Childhood Studies
The theories and analyses of post-structural thinkers such as Michel Foucault can seem a long way from practice in early childhood services. In recent years, however, many early childhood researchers and practitioners have found this work important and this fascinating book brings together a range of research and case-studies showing how teachers and researchers have brought post-structuralism to the classroom. The book covers such issues as:
becoming post-structurally reflective about truth
mapping classroom meanings
tactics of rhizoanalysis
becoming again in critically-knowing communities.
Case-studies and examples taken from real situations are used and will be of interest to anyone studying or researching early childhood practice and policy.

The politics of logic in early childhood research: A case of the brain, hard facts, trees and rhizomes
This paper engages with questions of logic and its politics to explore how those of us in early childhood education can become critical consumers of ‘brain research’. The research truths we use to construct classroom practices decide the meanings of our actions, thoughts and feelings and our interactions with children. Following Foucault (1980), I see these truths as intimately connected with power and its effects on us.
