Have you read Considering Culture (PDF v1.3 3.22mb) by Lisa Terreni and Judi McCallum? It is Part One of the ‘Providing culturally competent care in early Childhood Services in New Zealand’ series in our Bicultural practice section.
The paper addresses some of the current theories that attempt to understand ‘culture’ and examines some of the concepts underlying theories of inter-cultural communication. It examines how understanding ideas about culture and inter-cultural communication has implications for early childhood education practitioners from the dominant culture.
The two other articles in this series are also available in our Bicultural practice section.
