• Juxtaposing painting with issues relating to secondary visual art teaching practice; and
• Exploring how the arts help to develop a ‘critical eye’ in teachers and students, to provide them with tools for navigating and critiquing contemporary culture.

Thank you for the reply.
Haven't read that book, "ethics and politics in early childhood" ....sounds very interesting! Now I'm off to do some reading :)
The area of governmentlaity is a very interesting area to research. What notions have you come across within this book and others that have sparked your interest?
Currently reading a book that I think would help you further understand the area of 'relational power' - governmentality etc...
"Governmentality - Power and Rule in Modern Society" by Mitchell Dean
