Please come along to our next Ed Res Book Club meeting.

Our next discussion is on:

'Gender in Early Childhood Education: Implementing a Gender Flexible Pedagogy'

This book, by Professor Jo Warin, is an essential resource for exploring and deconstructing the gender binary in the early years sector. Drawing on Warin’s extensive research, it offers practical advice, examples of innovative classroom practice, and thought-provoking case studies, balanced alongside lively debate, scholarly discussion, and questions for reader reflection.

The book not only covers the existing debates in the field, but proposes and advocates for a 'gender flexible' approach to the teaching and learning of young children that challenges gender stereotypes and essentialism. The style and content bridge the gap between theory and practice making it perfect for an audience of early years education students, professionals, trainees and researchers.

Readers might like to prioritise:

• The Introduction: The Value of a Gender Flexible Pedagogy

• Conclusion: Last Words and Final Messages

If you've read some or all of the book, we hope you'll come along to share your thoughts. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, we hope you'll join us to listen, be inspired, and share your own ideas. Feel free to bring your lunch with you!
