This edited volume illuminates how intimate relations with place can transform early childhood pedagogy by presenting a diverse range of situated place stories. The book begins to answer big questions facing the early childhood education community at a time when both researchers and educators grapple with their responsibility (and response-ability) to initiate and inspire alternative environmental ethics and anticolonial approaches that invite active participation from children, families, and communities. Chapters include work from Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and educators who center the role of place in cultural identity, community building, and anticolonial projects throughout their work and teaching.
