Thank you! And thank you for the link – I loved reading such a robust case for using ethnography in critiquing early childhood interventions. And it is a really interesting perspective for an article I am currently writing about socialist kindergartens in Ethiopia.

Thank you!
Sarah

Though your piece is more (refreshingly) personal, your perspective echoes a growing set of parallel critiques of ethically problematic “interventions” into child-rearing practices in communities across the Global South (e.g. one I’ll link here). https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0022022117746241
