Welcome to the BA Childhood Practice Blog

Welcome! We’re delighted you’ve found your way to our blog, a space created and maintained by the team behind the BA Childhood Practice programme at Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh.

This blog is where we share insights and updates from our community of educators, practitioners, and researchers who are passionate about childhood, children’s rights, and early years practice. Whether you’re a current student, prospective applicant, practicing professional, or simply curious about contemporary childhood studies, we hope you’ll find something here that resonates with you.

Through this space, we aim to extend conversations beyond the classroom and lecture hall. You’ll find posts exploring current debates in childhood practice, reflections on pedagogical approaches, highlights from student work and experiences, updates about events and opportunities, and connections between research, policy, and practice. We believe that sharing our thinking, questions, and learning helps build a stronger community of practice.

The voices you’ll encounter here belong to our programme team –students, course organisers,  and colleagues who work alongside our students every day. Each post reflects our collective commitment to critical, rights-respecting approaches to working with children and families.

We invite you to explore, engage, and join the conversation. Your comments, questions, and perspectives are always welcome.

Thank you for being here.
