Infantologies. An EPAT collective writing project

Abstract

Infantologies is a collective writing project designed to express and\nsummarise important ideas, approaches and forms of advocacy in a\nshort and condensed method, in order to present a network of diverse\nthemes, arguments and evidence concerning infants.This is a collective\nwriting project invited fifteen scholars to participate by writing 500\nwords with maximum of 5 references in a short period of time (normally\na couple of weeks). It is a kind of clearing house for dominant statements\nabout the importance of the world of infants, their evolving\nminds, and physical and social bodies, and the crucial impact of parental,\nfamily, cultural, social and physical environments. This writing proQ3\nject follows the methodology of Collective writing (Peters, 2016) and\nbuilds on recent EPAT Collective writing projects (Peters, 2020). Jayne\nWhite curated the section ‘Infant Theories for Contemporary Times’ and\nMarek Tesar curated ‘Pedagogical Frameworks’. Other collective writing\nprojects that resonate with infantologies will follow, including Infanstasies and Infanticides.
