Who’s coding? An analysis of UK bootcamp experiences and outcomes
Bootcamps are intensive training programs that aim to turn adults with little to no experience into employable software developers and data scientists, typically in 3–4 months. The bootcamp model has been highly touted in the UK, with significant government investment. However, it is unclear whether UK coding and data science bootcamps make good on their key claims, particularly around employment and salaries. There is a dearth of evidence on UK …
Speculative visions: Stories and slogans for ecopedagogical relations
This article examines the implications of two provocative scholarly slogans—Donna Haraway’s “Make Kin Not Babies” and Sophie Lewis’s “Abolish the Family”—for children, childhoods, and ecopedagogies in the early years.

Framed as a form of “coding equity”, bootcamps a…
Speculative Child Figures at the End of the (White) World
The child-future join is pervasive in childhood studies and popular culture. Instead of disavowing the relation, I consider what might be generated if we “stay with the trouble” of its cocomposition in the making of worlds. To do so, I turn to a zombie child named Melanie from The Girl with All the Gifts to grapple with how the end of the world might not be a cause for mourning, how fiery landscapes can allow for species regeneration, and how vir…
