Early Years Research Group

The Early Years Research Group aims to empower children, young people and families by increasing understanding and provision of health, education and social services in the wider cultural context of their lives.

Associate Professor Amanda Bateman and Dr Amelia Church (University of Melbourne Graduate School of Education) coordinate Talking with Children, and they are keen to learn more about your professional interests and experience or research interests in interaction in early childhood education.
