Autor

Yarrow Goodley was nineteen years old in 1988 when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was founded, and the IPCC's five-yearly reports have sounded ever more dire warnings throughout their adulthood. Yarrow began working with young children in 1996, and has been an activist educator ever since, working with babies, toddlers, preschoolers as well as adults studying or working in early childhood education and care. Yarrow's doctoral work was in the sociology of education, and their book The Sociology of Early Childhood: Young Children's Lives and Worlds (2019) explores how inequality continues to shape and reshape the lives of young children. As an early childhood educator, Yarrow is reminded every day of the uncertain future that awaits our youngest citizens. These children will be Yarrow's current age in 2070-a future that may be either apocalyptic or utopian, depending on our actions now. As a Quaker, an activist, and a gardener, Yarrow aims for that utopian future, even when the path to that place is murky.
