Dynamic Conference Program
A message from your programme co-chairs, Sonya Gaches and Amy Clark:
The program has been crafted from your submissions, taking into consideration a range of variables, with the goal of creating a thought provoking and engaging space for critical discussions and the sharing of research, teaching and activisms in early childhood care and education.
What is a “dynamic” version of the program? This is the (nearly) full program complete with abstracts of all presentations, plenaries, and special events. However, in all likelihood there will be some changes and small edits made as we move towards and even during the conference. As changes to the program are made, you will see those changes updated in real time.
We trust the RECE community to understand the dynamic nature of conference planning and that they will remain flexible and understanding when changes are needed. We trust, as well, that members of the RECE community will only request changes that are absolutely necessary.
