ECIR provides an internship model where early career researchers are well supported by more experienced researchers in a wide range of research activities including organising conferences, editing books, writing book chapters, running research projects, analysing data, writing journal articles, and applying for promotion and grants.

These joint projects develop knowledge, skills and experience for members to pursue their own research interests.

Springer. <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/9783031564833">https://link.springer.com/book/9783031564833</a> </li><li>Following on from the internationally successful Early Childhood Voices Conferences in 2020 and 2022 (ECV2020 and ECV2022) members of ECIR have co-edited and co-authored a book to be published by Springer in 2024 that brings together professionals across multiple disciplines from 17 countries. </li><li>Here are some of the reviews: "Voice has been explored in early childhood before, but the focus of this book from a social justice perspective contextualizes voice work in a powerful way." "The interdisciplinary nature of the book is to be commended!" "The images of children and drawings by children bring the book to life and are a wonderful addition." "The book also tackles head on the diversity of experience and culture. It moves away from a privileged perspective on voice work and includes many chapters on complexity and challenges in life"

Accelerate Progress". It brings attention to the fact that women's economic empowerment is central to a gender-equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead, entire communities thrive. </p><p>This year we are celebrating women at Charles Sturt who are accelerating the progress of gender equity.
From Monday, 4 March, profiles will be shared of women in the University who are leading the way in creating change by role modelling, breaking down barriers and supporting and advocating for others.
These include: </p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Professor Renée Leon, Vice-Chancellor </li><li>Heather McGregor, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Student Success </li><li>Professor Sally Totman, Head of School, Social Work and Arts </li><li>Professor Sharynne McLeod, Professor of Speech and Language Acquisition </li><li>Dr Donna Bridges, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Lead - Gender and Feminist Studies Network. </li></ul><p>On Friday 8 March, from 10am, there will be a panel discussion moderated by Michelle Crosby, Chief Operating Officer.
Featuring each of our profiled staff members, the panel will focus on the impacts of gender on career trajectory, women in non-traditional roles and women supporting women. </p><p>All Charles Sturt staff are invited to attend. </p><p>You can find the calendar invitation to the panel discussion and profiles on the Respect, Equity and Diversity webpage: <a href="https://www.csu.edu.au/division/people-culture/current-staff/respect-equity-and-diversity/gender" target="_blank">https://www.csu.edu.au/division/people-culture/current-staff/respect-equity-and-diversity/gender</a></p><p>Blog:

<b>Profile questions for International Women’s Day 2024 </b></li><li><b>Name:</b> Sharynne McLeod </li><li><b>Role at the University: </b> Distinguished Professor, School of Education </li><li><b>What was your first paid job?</b> Working in my parents’ shoe store </li><li><b>The Science and Gender Equity Agency (SAGE) uses the analogy of a career as a pathway with open and closed gates. Can you tell us about your career pathway and some of the gates, or unexpected turns you have experienced?</b> The Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Sturt Scheme is a wonderful example of a way that Charles Sturt University has opened gates for many early and mid career researchers and HDR students to grow as researchers, academics and people (<a href="https://researchoutput.csu.edu.au/en/organisations/early-childhood-interdisciplinary-research-group">https://researchoutput.csu.edu.au/en/organisations/early-childhood-interdisciplinary-research-group</a>). Over the three years of funding (2021-2024) our 5-woman strong leadership team have worked with over 40 people across Charles Sturt in fields such as early childhood education, speech pathology, nursing, psychology, physiotherapy, and data science (<a href="https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/researchers-and-publications/">https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/researchers-and-publications/</a>).</li><li><b>Inclusion and gender equity are such hot topics today, but it hasn’t always been that way.</b> <b>What changes to these have you experienced or noticed during your career?</b> I have a background in speech pathology and early childhood. Therefore, I have spent a lot of my career undertaking research about and advocating for inclusion of people with disabilities – particularly those with invisible disabilities that impact speech, language, hearing, communication as well as other invisible reasons that impact people’s ability to fully participate (e.g., mental health, cancer treatments etc.). I am passionate about everyone’s right to communicate. During my career I have been able to co-create opportunities to advocate for inclusion. For example, I have advocated for communication rights at the United Nations and the World Health Organization and many other places across the world.</li><li><b>To allow us to get to know you better, what is something, besides gender equity of course, that you are passionate about?</b> I think that children have a lot to teach us. Our recent submission to the United Nations has many examples of their wisdom: <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/issues/youth/hr75/submissions/subm-views-youth-led-cso-early-childhood-interdisciplinary-resear.pdf">https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/issues/youth/hr75/submissions/subm-views-youth-led-cso-early-childhood-interdisciplinary-resear.pdf</a></li></ul><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzYabPNO0WBPLewxr15_mDK-_Nu3yk0xB7LJUkTL-XQd6teHW4ox8kCikPKj-1FBEJKIKa4gse1QMXgch_ZvQrElRjHm3vL-az5KGS0k4JUy1-2sSjl0vi78o8gHlxa7h_zpAUTCeGaMjzPOWJKohUThj00j4tkLN5LXBSB1Tw9RL-4lPzuhUl8prGPyo/s2588/IWD-8March2024-CSU%20blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2208" data-original-width="2588" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzYabPNO0WBPLewxr15_mDK-_Nu3yk0xB7LJUkTL-XQd6teHW4ox8kCikPKj-1FBEJKIKa4gse1QMXgch_ZvQrElRjHm3vL-az5KGS0k4JUy1-2sSjl0vi78o8gHlxa7h_zpAUTCeGaMjzPOWJKohUThj00j4tkLN5LXBSB1Tw9RL-4lPzuhUl8prGPyo/s320/IWD-8March2024-CSU%20blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br />Thank you Arifa for your generous gift "Dare to dream: A new journey is ready to begin" "Let your cup always be full of happiness"</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiLkvP0BROsKIXj0ftjOSZjrzYnr8KWwMpw9tFovRrcaJtQOGGwU7SAkE7qJi40gE2zmoqgzfDIC8m9nYxlu9WV15bmuwm2bFmQYRwFR6PQdkd3nVsjU1G8YBzCck5KVFai2Q-eYXa6ualXLN4YjJ_3-JrlvlkFuIGmL4fgO3HMGXfcyeETYEbAHZZbo8/s1920/ArifaRahman-InternationalWomensDay-March2024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiLkvP0BROsKIXj0ftjOSZjrzYnr8KWwMpw9tFovRrcaJtQOGGwU7SAkE7qJi40gE2zmoqgzfDIC8m9nYxlu9WV15bmuwm2bFmQYRwFR6PQdkd3nVsjU1G8YBzCck5KVFai2Q-eYXa6ualXLN4YjJ_3-JrlvlkFuIGmL4fgO3HMGXfcyeETYEbAHZZbo8/s320/ArifaRahman-InternationalWomensDay-March2024.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Arifa Rahman and Sharynne<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Multilingual Children's Speech</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023332438320470257.post-56215864706770911272024-03-04T21:06:00.007+11:002024-03-04T21:06:40.180+11:00Three years between acceptance and publication of a journal article<p>This paper was accepted for publication in March 2021 – and finally has been published with volume and page numbers in March 2024! <br /></p><p> Tran, V.

The answer is a lot of research impact.

Together 16 members of the group analysed the 200 drawings using frameworks from education, speech pathology and linguistics. The project team recently shared their findings at a 1-hr symposium presented at the 2024 Australasian Journal of Early Childhood (AJEC) conference in February. The presentation stimulated excellent discussion amongst participants. Currently, journal articles reporting on the drawing analysis protocol and analyses outcomes are underway and have submitted a manuscript to a Q1 journal. </p><p>• Gallery 1: The World <a href="https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-1-the-world/">https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-1-the-world/</a> </p><p>• Gallery 2: Indonesia <a href="https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-2-indonesia/">https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-2-indonesia/</a> </p><p>• Gallery 3: Australia <a href="https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-3-australia/">https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-3-australia/</a> </p><p>• Gallery 4: Australia <a href="https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-4-australia/">https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2022/children-draw-talking-gallery-4-australia/</a> </p><p><b>United Nations Human Rights 75 Youth Declaration: </b></p><p>Another exciting outcome from ECV2022 was an ECIR team response to the United Nations’ call for views of youth-led and youth-focused organizations and institutions on the future of human rights for the development of the Human Rights 75 Youth Declaration..

"Voice has been explored in early childhood before, but the focus of this book from a social justice perspective contextualizes voice work in a powerful way." "The interdisciplinary nature of the book is to be commended!" "The images of children and drawings by children bring the book to life and are a wonderful addition." "The book also tackles head on the diversity of experience and culture. It moves away from a privileged perspective on voice work and includes many chapters on complexity and challenges in life" </p><p><b>Early Childhood Voices Conference 2024 (ECV2024): </b></p><p>Looking ahead, the ECIR group have begun planning the Early Childhood Voices Conference 2024 (ECV2024), which will run from 25-28 November 2024. So start thinking about presenting your research with children. Abstract submissions are open from 22 April 2024 - 29 July 2024. The ECIR team will once again look to collect children’s views – this year the focus will be on how children experience play and how they see play as essential to creating a better world. </p><p><b>Apply to join ECIR:</b> If advocating for the rights of children drives your research activities consider sending an email Expression of Interest and your CV explaining why you would be a good addition to the ECIR group to ECIR@csu.edu.au. Charles Sturt University staff and students are welcome to apply.
