Dr. Kortney Sherbine

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kortney Sherbine, an independent researcher interested in the play and literacies of young children. With eighteen years of experience as an early childhood teacher and teacher educator, Kortney's teaching and research interests invoke posthumanist perspectives on language and literacy, which take into account the material intra-actions between young children and things that they encounter in their personal ecologies, particularly related to popular culture. Across her work, Kortney is concerned with what comes to "count" as meaningful literacy and play and the conditions under which certain literacies and play are ostracized or "othered."
