Anti-racist pedagogy in early years and childhood settings

The idea for this Thematic Issue on Anti-Racist Pedagogy in Early Years and Childhood Settings emerged after an inspiring conference titled “Cha(lle)nging Childhoods: Reimagine Childhood in Uncertainty and Inequality” (ConferenceCES, Istanbul, June 2024) organised by the Journal of Childhood, Education & Society. In our discussions as scholar-activists, we felt a deep need to hear from academics and practitioners around the world - to better understand what is happening on the ground, and to collectively consider how we might challenge racist education systems across different contexts.
