Series: Routledge Research in Early Childhood Education

This book outlines the key findings from the ADVOST project and other international projects that examine how educational practitioners have utilised theoretical notions of voice and agency to enhance the social inclusion and wellbeing of children within their settings.

Bringing together findings from three project case studies that are each placed in a different national context, chapters explore theoretical principles of space, audience and influence to facilitate and enhance the voices of very young children. Focusing on diversity as an opportunity rather than a challenge, the book provides collaboratively written and regionally diverse chapters that ultimately contribute to a growing field on literature examining how young people might be included in culturally sensitive and responsive ways within education, recognising the diversity that young people, their families and communities bring to educational processes to provide an inclusive education for all.

Offering multiple perspectives and insights into our growing understanding of children’s voice and agency in diverse settings, this book will be of relevance to scholars, researchers and academics in the fields of primary education, multicultural education, early years and educational research, and child development studies.

Reviews for Children’s Voice and Agency in Diverse Settings: International Research and Perspectives

“This book brings together several theoretical underpinnings of listening to children with case studies of practice from across diverse contexts. The chapters capture the dynamic nature of listening to children and the importance of this for all children, but particularly for those in marginalised communities whose perspectives and voices tend not to be heard. The book is driven by commitments to valuing children, listening to children, and respecting their rights and agency.” - Sue Dockett is Emeritus Professor, Early Childhood Education, School of Education, Charles Sturt University, Australia “This book brings together several theoretical underpinnings of listening to children with case studies of practice from across diverse contexts.
