SJIEC 2010 Annual Conference

The 7th annual conference was held on Saturday 5 June 2010 at Redfern Community Centre, Sydney. We had one of our biggest conferences ever, including both the number of presenters and the number of attendees.

Participants were treated to a huge range of topics covered in workshops and keynote addresses. A smorgasboard of warm soup was dished up for lunch during which the pre-launch of Talkin’ up and speakin’ out was held (see below for more details).

Overall, we had exceptional positive feedback from attendees and we thank all those who attended and made the day a true success. Thank you also to all the presenters who contributed their time and energy into preparing their provocative and inspiring presentations.

Pre-Book-Launch: Talkin' up and speakin' out: Aboriginal and multicultural voices in early childhood

The SJIEC 2010 Annual Conference was proud to host the pre-launch of Talkin’ up and speakin’ out: Aboriginal and multicultural voices in early childhood, edited by Dr Miriam Giugni and Kerry Mundine, published by Pademelon Press.

Many of the book’s authors were in attendance at the conference as both organisers, presenters and attendees. Associate Professor Kerry Robinson and Dr Criss Jones Diaz from the University of Western Sydney spoke in high regard for the editors and contributors. The order form can be downloaded below.
