Webinar with Dr Kiri Gould

7.30pm (NZST) Wednesday July 16, 2025

Early childhood teachers are known for prioritising issues of equity, belonging, and inclusion in relation to the children and whānau they work with, but these issues can also affect teachers themselves. A recent research study uncovered stories of inequity and exclusion among early childhood teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand, often along racial, cultural, and linguistic lines.

In this webinar, Dr Kiri Gould of the University of Auckland will explore teacher identity in early childhood education, and how it intersects with discourses of equity, belonging, and inclusion.

A recording of this live webinar will be available afterwards.

Dr Kiri Gould is the Programme Director for the Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies at the University of Auckland, a core faculty team member at the Centre for Global Childhoods, and a member of the editorial team for The First Years Ngā Tau Tuatahi NZ Journal of Infant and Toddler Education. Her combined teaching and research interests focus on teachers’ identities and understandings of professionalism, the policy and socio-political contexts in which teachers work, and early childhood leadership.
