Call for Papers: Emergent Strategy in Early Childhood Care and Education

2026-05-18

We invite completed papers for our issue that will showcase work that engages with, is inspired by, or aligns with the ideas explained in adrienne maree brown’s (2017) Emergent Strategy, as well as related work grounded in intentionality, relationality, interdependence, decentralization, and justice and equity, with a focus on what we are working towards. Aligning with the Emergent Strategy framework, we also open up possibilities and welcome papers that do not explicitly name their frameworks as ‘Emergent Strategy,’ but are engaging in similar work that explores how these ideas live in early childhood care and education (ECCE) and/or teacher education.    

Moving beyond ‘anti’ or deficit-based approaches, this issue highlights work that is responsive and grounded in desire-based (Tuck, 2009) approaches, not just critique. To ground us in this work, we ask: what becomes possible when the principles of Emergent Strategy meet Early Childhood Care and Education and/or Teacher Education?

Please see more information and the full Call for Papers on our website.
