Current Opportunities

I am recruiting graduate students keen to collaborate on my research projects.  If you are a Spanish-speaking student interested in conducting research in South America, please get in touch for potential opportunities.

Research at a Glance

My scholarship is informed by my experiences growing up and studying in Argentina, and working as an early childhood educator in Canada.

I co-direct two provincial networks and co-founded a Canada-wide research group dedicated to studying early childhood pedagogy: Pedagogist Network of Ontario, British Columbia Early Childhood Pedagogies Network,  and Early Childhood Pedagogies Collaboratory.

My SSHRC-funded research program, spanning the global South and North, focuses on the reconceptualization of early childhood education at the critical junctions of ecological and social justice. This work is detailed in the Climate Action Childhood Network.  As a founding member of the Common Worlds Research Collective, my writing traces children's relations with places, materials, and other species.  

I am the author/co-author of more than 90 articles and chapters, and ten books, including Pedagogy of Proximities: The Making of an Itinerant School (University of Toronto Press, forthcoming), two editions of Encounters with Materials in Early Childhood Education (Routledge, 2024, 2017), The Common Worlds of Children and Animals: Relational Ethics for Entangled Lives (Routledge, 2018), Unsettling the Colonial Places and Spaces of Early Childhood Education (Routledge, 2015), Youth Work, Early Education, and Psychology: Liminal Encounters (Palgrave, 2016), Journeys: Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Practices (University of Toronto Press, 2014), and Flows, Rhythms, and Intensities of Early Childhood Education Curriculum (Peter Lang, 2010).
