Love has been positioned as a contested emotion in early childhood education, but there are strong arguments for exploring this in early childhood practice, particularly in Aotearoa New Zealand where Te Whāriki states that ‘infants are learning … they are worthy of love’.

In this webinar, Dr Andrea Delaune will explore the moral concept of love, and discuss whether there is a pedagogical imperative for teachers to consider their role in teaching infants that they are worthy of love. Dr Andrea Delaune is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Teacher Education at the University of Canterbury. Her research expertise includes philosophy of education, early childhood education, post-structural analysis, gifted education, conceptualisations of wellbeing for infants and toddlers, and pedagogies of possibility.

A recording of this live webinar will be available afterwards.
