Welcome to the ECIR blog

Welcome to the Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research (ECIR) Group Blog at Charles Sturt University in Australia. ECIR is a transformative research program promoting social justice for children, families and practitioners within early childhood. 

• We build capacity for engaging in transformative research within our group and with other researchers.
• We are funded by a Charles Sturt University Sturt Scheme grant from 2022-2024 and have approximately 40 interdisciplinary members who are educators, nurses, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, linguists, and data scientists. 

Our members are academics, adjuncts and research higher degree students at Charles Sturt University.
