Reflecting on its hegemony, our speakers explore possibilities for resisting, refusing, and contesting neoliberalism in post-pandemic contexts of ECE.
The following questions will be discussed in this seminar:

- What opportunities are possible in a post COVID-19 era to contest neoliberalism for social justice and equity in global ECE?
