ABSTRACT
This chapter concentrates on (re)considerations regarding agency, power, and toileting practices during time as a toddler teacher in an early years centre. Moving between post-structuralist and posthuman theories to highlight the complexities of toileting practices in the early years classroom, the chapter details how the author’s thinking and inquiry into teaching has shifted and expanded. Through this (re)considering, teachers’ relations to children’s bodies, the “intra-actions” between the more-than-human, and our entangling agencies (Barad, 2007; Bennett, 2010) are explored within the context of toileting.
