The Power Of Stories

Download or read book Children and the Power of Stories written by Carmen Blyth and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how stretching stories through posthuman and autoethnographic perspectives can produce new stories that decolon(ial)ize traditional thinking and approaches to Early Childhood Education (ECE). It demonstrates how stories can provide a different way of knowing, and a way of knowing differently: a way of decolon(ial)izing current discourses of early childhood education within educational institutions. The book uses research and practice in ECE to act as a canvas, a context with which to explore how autoethnography can become other when viewed through a posthumanist lens. As a consequence the chapters and stories within allow for an interplay between the posthumanist and the autoethnographic, an interplay that allows for a very specific type of meaning to emerge; a meaning that traffics in numerous and disruptive possibilities rather than settled certainties. In so doing, authors rethink and perturb the notion of child-centered approaches to knowing, be(com)ing, and doing within the Early Childhood Education context.

Book excerpt: This book is based on lectures I presented to staff of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in the fall of 2022. My hope is that this book is of value to civil engineers working in the field of nuclear energy. I make specific reference to structural, geotechnical and environmental issues that were part of my civil engineering career at the AECB/CNSC and my international consulting work in nuclear security.
