de Lissa Oration Early Childhood Professionalism in Current Times

We live in a global world strongly influenced by the ideology of neoliberalism. The social imaginaries created by global neoliberalism shape political understandings of, and responses to, issues. It is in this context that nations develop early childhood policies, and those working in the early childhood sector interpret these policies and enact them in their practice. These understandings and their associated professional practices form the basis of the sector’s drive towards professional recognition.
