Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood (CIEC)

Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood is a respected quarterly international research journal published by SAGE Publishing that fosters critical inquiry into the pressing issues shaping early childhood education, development and practice worldwide. Since its inception around 2000, the journal has provided a scholarly platform for work that moves beyond traditional developmental frameworks to embrace innovative, interdisciplinary perspectives including sociology of childhood, post-structuralist theory, postcolonial critique, queer theory, cultural studies, policy analysis and alternative views of child development. It publishes rigorous research reports, theoretical explorations, comprehensive literature reviews, book reviews, colloquia and invited commentaries that illuminate how contemporary social, cultural and pedagogical forces influence the lives of young children (from birth to eight years) and their families. With an international editorial board and global contributor base, the journal emphasizes critical engagement, intellectual dialogue, and the interrogation of existing assumptions about learning, identity, language, curriculum and educational practices in early years settings. Its scope encourages scholars and practitioners to expand the boundaries of early childhood studies by addressing contradictions, possibilities and power relations in children’s lives and educational contexts. Whether exploring curriculum innovations, social justice issues, representations of childhood, or the implications of new technologies, Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood continues to shape thinking and debate in the field of early childhood research and practice.
