Abstract
From marginalisation to magnification: Making children visible in communities through relational knowledge production and collaboration
RUN Regional Futures Conference (Rockhampton, Australia, 21-Jun-2016–24-Jun-2016)
2016
Abstract
We are two early childhood educators and researchers working in RUN universities and regional communities. In our presentation we are considering the importance of collaboration for engaging with issues of marginalisation and advocacy for children and young people. We consider projects, processes and experiences where negotiation of our own and others' perspectives, knowledge and approaches have been needed in order to promote children's visibility in communities. As we reflect on interactions that have supported the relational production of knowledge across these projects we suggest that opportunities for debate, dialogue and collaboration among different stakeholders and audiences (including children, educators, researchers and researched communities) can alleviate marginalisation by heightening new ways of seeing, thinking about and engaging with marginalised groups.
