A Living Feminist Postdevelopmental Lexicon for Early Education
Teachers College Record, v127 n2 p163-181 2025
Expanding the important body of work that addresses child development's limitations and responding to the ecological crisis that threatens the future of life on Earth, this article proposes a living feminist postdevelopmental lexicon. The lexicon introduces 26 concepts that together challenge the theory/practice divide, disrupt Cartesian modes of subjectivity, reorient taken-for-granted ideas as problematic in early education, open up early education to inquiries that respond to the political and ethical questions of our milieu, and generate conditions for creative, inventive, thoughtful, and ethical projects. The paper invites readers to engage with and creatively add to the lexicon, making it an emerging and living tool for responding to the current ecological crisis.
