Proposed Title

Towards a re-conceptualisation of risk-taking in early childhood education and care practices.

Research

My project is nested within the ARC Linkage project Exemplary early childhood educators at work. I aim to explore a broad conceptualisation of risk-taking for both children and educators as a beneficial aspect of early childhood education.

Why I chose Charles Sturt

I read an article written by Sandie Wong. The topic interested me and I contacted Sandie. She was very responsive and enthusiastic about my ideas and participation.
