Subject: The Arts in Early Childhood FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
This is a FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS for a special issue devoted to 'The
Arts in Early Childhood' to appear in the journal CONTEMPORARY ISSUES
IN EARLY CHILDHOOD (www.wwwords.co.uk/CIEC).
Much has been written in recent years on the need for children to have
both freedom for self-expression and instruction in the arts.
International trends in early education herald literacy and numeracy
development as foremost activity in schools, including in the early
years. A narrow focus on these elements, whether intended or
unintended, denies the richness of possibility in the arts for
children's learning both of itself, and for instrumental purposes such
as those related to literate behaviour. Research on the arts as an
'other' space in early childhood clearly depicts the challenges and
narrowing perspective of many mainstream school and centre-based sites
of learning. We are surrounded by powerful images, more so than in any
other time, and children need multiliteracies to be able to read these
texts, as well as construct and compose their own. Early years arts
educators are breaking new ground both in ways of seeing children and
in making a space for supporting children in realising and extending
their artistic endeavours, aesthetic and cultural understandings.
In an effort to (1) begin to bring together critical work on this
topic, and (2) propel new ways of understanding and thinking about the
complex issues involved, I am serving as Guest Editor for this special
issue on 'The Arts in Early Childhood.'
We want the special issue to provide a comprehensive examination of
the topic. The submission deadline is 30 September 2007, and
publication is targeted for mid-2008.
Please submit papers of 5000-8000 words to me, Dr Felicity McArdle (f.
[log in to unmask]) by 30 September 2007. Guidelines for submitting
papers can be found on the journal's website (www.wwwords.co.
uk/ciec/howtocontribute.html).
We believe that this special, peer-reviewed issue has the opportunity
to make an important contribution to critical thinking about the arts,
its place in curriculum, and early years pedagogy. Please feel free to
contact me if you wish to have further discussion.
