About RECE

Greetings,
We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who has attended our Reconceptualizing Graduate Research Circle (RGRC) in the past few months. We have successfully held three circles so far, in November 2022, and January and March 2023. We have also received numerous emails expressing interest from many of you. We are in the early stages of establishing ourselves and embarking on this exciting global RGRC journey. Please join us for our next circle Wednesday, May 24th, 2023.
11:00 am Vancouver PST. Zoom Meeting ID: 618 4064 4057 Passcode: 574118
We are thrilled to announce that we have an exciting opportunity ahead.
Scholarly Writing
How can we initiate our thought process regarding pedagogy? We want to extend an open invitation to all participants of the RGRC to come together and collaborate in establishing a foundation for this discussion. Let us leverage our diverse knowledge systems to foster an evolving unity of various approaches to teaching and learning within our profession worldwide.

Warmest wishes,

RECE Steering Committee
Standing in Solidarity with US Early Childhood Educators against Racism and Heterosexism
As a global organization reflecting diverse cultural experiences of children and families, Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education (RECE) members honor a wide range of ways of knowing and realize a fundamental commitment to social justice in all their activities (https://receinternational.org/about/). We decry policies and actions in the US and elsewhere that protect white privilege and heteronormativity, and perpetuate multiple forms of oppression. We also note with alarm the growing attacks on freedom of thought and expression affecting children, educators, and families. RECE, as an organization, also decries any efforts to turn back the clock by denial of curriculum and practices that teach accurate US history, reflect and honor the diversity of children and families, and work toward equity and inclusion, rather than exclusion, in education.
