She was a leader in childhood studies, the foundational director of the Children's Issues Centre and a pioneer in evidence-based policy and practice. For more than four decades she wrote, researched and spoke about the rights of children as people and citizens, the right to quality childcare and the right to quality experiences in early childhood. She was an advocate for children's voices to be heard and respected, and for children to be free of all forms of physical violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors take inspiration from her research, policy and advocacy work, including its international reach and its lasting influence to address the politics of care and education; sociocultural approaches to advocacy, and the role of early childhood leaders as advocates for children.
