A Fair Go: Critical reflection and radical inclusion

The EYLF describes 'critical reflection' as the process of considering issues from multiple perspectives in order to engage with issues of equity and social justice. In essence, this is about a fair and equitable 'go' for all children, families and educators, ensuring everyone is included. But what is it that we include them into?  Can inclusion itself create instances of injustice?  Does a respect for diversity truly grapple with thorny issues of difference and bias, and how do we rethink inclusion to consider the more than human world? In this webinar, we will dive into some of these issues, looking at examples of practice and weaving in some theory to think about how critical reflection can enliven our programs and our lives and generate radical inclusion.
