Location: Rozanski Hall, Room 103
With the 7 Lamps of Care as our guide, Carol will shine the light on the path of the early childhood educator's central purpose, to care for young children. Together, we will pioneer a practice that elevates care as education, as an ethical encounter, a human right, and a public good. Carol will ask us to consider a new teaching paradigm - where we shift from a view of care as separate from education to revealing that care is education. Looking at our work through the lens of care ethics will allow us to see care as the strong backbone and core philosophy of our early childhood practice. Together we will analyze the art and science of practicing a pedagogy of care and love. One of the exciting applications of Illuminating Care is including ourselves in the caring equation. Using care as a pillar of our work leads us back to our purpose, our priorities, and ultimately, our joy.
Bio: Carol Garboden Murray is the author of Illuminating Care: The Pedagogy and Practice of Care in Early Childhood Communities. She has been working with children, families, and teachers for many years. She says, “A life working in early education and care has been more intellectually stimulating, heartfelt, rewarding, challenging, and wildly creative than I could have ever dreamed. I am honored to care for the children in our communities and I am grateful for all the people who have helped me tell the story of care in this book.”
