- This book is based on five years of work by Gillies spanning two major research studies. Grounded in the findings of the Faraday Institute funded project ‘Brain science and early intervention: tracing the new biologisation of parenting and child care’, the research entailed an extensive review of key documents shaping political and policy engagement with neuroscience in relation to early years education, consultations with renowned neuroscientists and interviews with key politicians, policy makers and early years practitioners. It also includes findings from a subsequent ESRC project led by Gillies ‘Troubled Families’ and Inter-Agency Collaboration: Lessons from Historical Comparative Analysis’.
