This special issue of Early Childhood Folio focuses on developments and possibilities in early childhood research and pedagogies that can serve as a catalyst for thinking, discussion, and transformative practice. The articles respond to a call set within a contemporary context, and they consider how developments might respond to issues of our time. What are the pressures on those participating in early childhood education? How might research and pedagogy respond to these pressures? How do these responses link to values and the purposes of early childhood education?
