I have been working in the field of early childhood education for over ten years, gaining professional and academic experience both in Italy and abroad (United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Sweden). Within this field, my research interest focuses on the following topics:
- professionalism and professional development of practitioners working in early childhood settings across Europe;
- pedagogical approaches to the education and care of young children elaborated within different European traditions;
- ECEC policy developments in cross-national perspective.
