Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead shaped the field of childhood studies in anthropology in the early 20th century. One of her concerns was the challenge posed to the continuity of childcare from rapid social change in the 1940s and 1960s in the United States. Her interest in the contrast between slowly changing homogenous cultures and those undergoing rapid change developed into a one between independent and interdependent training of children. Yet, Mead was much mo…

Neuroscience and the construction of a new child in early childhood education in Indonesia
Neuroscience has become a new 'truth' in early childhood education across the globe, including in Indonesia. This article aims to demonstrate how the alignment of neuroscience discourse and the legacy of neoliberalism constructs a new form of childhood in Indonesia. The conceptual framework of brain science, predicated on biological determinism, suggests that the brain will significantly influence not only children's development in the present bu…

Brown Paper Chronicles
In a collaborative project between a small university and a local nonprofit devoted to Indigenous children and their families, ethnographic improvisations based on design approaches were used as part of a digital storytelling project. Encounters were designed to produce an "ethical space" for translating childrearing values for which transmission has been interrupted by histories of residential schooling, assimilative adoptions, and continuing pa…
Women and children together and apart
In what ways, and to what effects, are proliferating temporalities of appropriation in financialized capitalism transforming or transformed by those of social reproductive labor? More specifically, how are woman-child relations affected when social reproduction becomes a site of immediate, not just indirect, capital accumulation through relations of debt? To answer these questions, we take up species-being as the laborrelationthat anchors sociall…
Braiding sweetgrass families
This photo-essay shares images from a collaborative project between a local university and an agency devoted to Indigenous children and their families in southern Alberta, Canada. The original project used photo-elicitation to identify local childrearing values, but the project ultimately became a transmedia one. Here, we use images to elaborate on the sweetgrass braid as a metaphor for the braided character of parenting across the many divides, …
Anything Can Be Used to Stimulate Child Development
An explosion of early childhood programs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, has followed on disaster, democratization, growth of the middle class, and global neoliberal reform at the beginning of the twenty-first century. New forms of professional expertise have emerged as a part of this global assemblage to deal with the expanded notions of development advocated by the World Bank and other intergovernmental organizations. Yet, what has remained relativel…
Interiority and government of the child
Early childhood education and care programs in Indonesia developed rapidly in the aftermath of the 2006 earthquake centered south of Yogyakarta. The newly empowered self-directed learner at the center of these programs seemed to follow from the emergence of another child in this devastated landscape: the traumatized child in need of healing. The appearance of these images of childhood along with Indonesia's neoliberal democratization reiterates t…

Women Against Children
In response to global attention to the young child, early childhood programs have become a national and provincial focus in Indonesia since 2000. The roll out of public programs for low income communities has made use of a longstanding mode of delivery: the volunteered, community-based labour of women. Although susceptible to analysis as a mode of governmentality, an older scholarship on the domestic community, its role in social reproduction, an…
Empowering Children, Disempowering Women
The development of early childhood care, education, and development programs in Indonesia suggests unexpected linkages between democratization, empowerment, and neoliberal policy regimes. Despite the shift to grassroots organizing and to empowerment as a goal of development, in Indonesia there is tremendous continuity in the use of women's work to provide social welfare at the community level. Ethnographic research illuminates the impact on women…
The global child and non-governmental governance of the family in post-Suharto Indonesia
State interventions in the family under Suharto's New Order were pervasive and deep, from education to the local delivery of social welfare through citizen-housewives. In the heady and chaotic period since the end of Suharto's regime in the late 1990s, there has been an explosion of programmes aimed at early childhood in response to transnational initiatives that suggest a new global child. Local women as wives and mothers are once again involved…

Rituals of Rule in the Administered Community
Ethnographic work in an urban kampung in central Java reveals this community form to be both an administrative rationality and a set of locally meaningful social relations. The continued restatement of the relevance of community through the Javanese ritual meal known as the slametan and women's roles in these rituals of commensality are the focus of this consideration. State sponsorship of housewives as community welfare workers extends the long …
