In the fall of 2010, a group of early childhood scholars concerned with the impact of neoliberalism on those who are younger met to discuss the situation and the various performances of neoliberalism in diverse local spaces. The global condition (as entangled neoliberal assemblages) requires new critical qualitative research perspectives and conceptualizations, unthought methods, and ways to center traditionally marginalized theories and understandings. This article introduces, and overviews, the qualitative research used by the various scholars in different locations around the globe from within a theoretical perspective that predominantly employs the Deleuze/Guattari notion of assemblage as applicable to qualitative research.
