Orienting toward the otherwise in the Twitterverse
This article asks how social media platform engagement, on Twitter in particular, collides with thinking and experimenting with the educational practice of a pedagogist. Beginning with tracing the role of the pedagogist as an emerging figure in early childhood education within the Canadian context, we turn to thinking #BecomingPedagogist, the hashtag used on Twitter by those undertaking work toward responding to and inventing the digital practice…
Multispecies collaboratories
This paper shows how multispecies collaboratories work to complexify understandings of shared space with more-than-human others through collective inquiry and experimentation. Recognizing tensions produced through engaging childhood geographies research on stolen land, it proposes multispecies collaboratories as inextricably situated within the uneven flows of colonization, urban sprawl, and climate change. The authors present six collaboratory s…
Dis/orientating the Early Childhood Sensorium
This paper shares a multilayered retrospective story of an international exhibit curated for the Climate Action Childhood Network Colloquium as part of a commitment among exhibit curators to reveal the complexities of unpalatable climate futures. In the format of a tasting menu, we offer a sampling of the exhibit installations as a menu of potential alterpolitics in the making. Facing intensifying inequitable climate presents and futures, our int…
Living Speculative Pedagogies as Boundary-Crossing Dialogues
This article shares the experience of expanding what was initiated at the SPARK conference as one example of engaging pedagogical development as an ongoing critically reflective boundary-crossing dialogue. It extends conversations in relation to a climate change inquiry project that explored thinking with trees by revisiting a concept integral to our inquiry—listening— in order to critically interrogate our pedagogical assumptions, actions, and a…
Unruly Voices
Drawing on data from a multi-jurisdictional, participatory research project with children and educators, this chapter resituates prevailing early childhood education frameworks for sustainability (ECEfS) within a common worlds orientation to argue in favor of curriculum and pedagogy as lively, contingent, more-than-human entanglements. It is an exploratory attempt to engage unruly voices—those voices not so readily ruled, disciplined or managed—a…
Doing pedagogical intentions with Facetiming Common Worlds (and Donna Haraway)
Working with stories of children’s relationships with place and technologies from an early childhood education pedagogical inquiry research project in Melbourne, Australia and Victoria, Canada, this article takes up the concept of “pedagogical intentions” to consider how educators and researchers might cultivate intentional teaching practices relevant to the complex worlds we inherit with children. We think with a common worlds pedagogies approac…
Facetiming common worlds
Children, educators, and researchers at a child care center in Victoria, Canada and Melbourne, Australia have been collaborating on an early childhood education pedagogical inquiry project that grapples with children’s relations with place and technologies. Resisting narratives of environmental stewardship and instrumental digital education that dominate in the settler colonial contexts of contemporary Canadian and Australian early childhood educ…
Pedagogical gatherings in early childhood education
In this article, the authors critically and generatively encounter emergent curriculum, drawing from their experiences working as pedagogistas in three different early childhood education centres in Western Canada. The intent is to engage with the concept of emergence as that which can bring ethical and political engagements with curriculum and pedagogy; complicating understandings of emergent curriculum as simply following the lead of children. …
