- Hi, my name is Dr. Jo Traunter,
and I'm a senior lecturer
in the School of Education at the University of Hull.
I am the pathway lead
for the MA in Early Childhood and Education.
We run a programme which considers the experience
of early childhood from birth to 5 years.
We look at the sociological, the psychological perspectives,
the way that policy impacts on early childhood.
We look at the research around early childhood
and the experience of early childhood globally.
Key areas of study on the programme
include early child development,
how that can be impacted in different societies
and different cultures.
We look at play, communication, creativity,
and the way that that is enacted
in different curricular approaches across the world.
And we look at the experience
of childhood on a global level
and how that is enacted
and experienced in different communities.
