Titel: (In)visible Toddlerhood? Global and Local Constructions of Toddlers’ Places in Institutions
Institution: University of Tampere, Finland & University of São Paulo, Brazil
Beskrivelse
This project approaches one to three-year-old children’s everyday life and well-being from a multidisciplinary perspective. The main objective of the project is to address the dynamic interplay among the culturally constructed meanings, ideals and expectations of (good) toddlerhood, the local level of practices, and the toddlers’ construction of places (lived-through-experiences). Theoretically and methodologically, the project engages in dialogue with the recent developments from the childhood geographies, sociological childhood studies, and developmental psychology. The research includes cooperation with CINDEDI (the Brazilian Research Center on Early Child Development and Education) research group at the University of São Paulo, Campus Ribeirão Preto.
