Teresa Katherine Aslanian

I hold a PhD in educational science in which I studied conceptions of care in ECEC, including care as a material practice. My background includes 15 years as assistant, preschool teacher and preschool director. My current teaching practice is concerned with students exercising agency in their learning processes and joint learning processes. My research is concerned with re-theorising main concepts in ECEC, such as participation, care, love, learning and play. I am particularly interested in the Nordic early childhood pedagogy tradition. My recent publications include three edited anthologies. I am currently working on an English edition of my syllabus book for Springer, aimed at Early Childhood Education teacher students and practitioners Kjærlighet som profesjonsutøvelse i barnehagen (Love as a Professional Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care).
