This book is for early childhood educators committed to learning
about gender [in]justice as a foundation for creating gender
affirming early learning environments for all children including
those who are transgender and gender expansive (TGE). The authors
engage in progressive and contemporary thinking about gender
acknowledging its complexity, intersectionality, diversity and
dynamism. They draw on Miranda Fricker’s (2007) concepts of
testimonial injustice to discuss how young TGE children are
considered “too young” to have gender identities or to truly
know themselves and hermeneutical injustice to represent the
challenges TGE children face in educational environments that do
not provide them with linguistic or interpretive tools to help them
fully understand and communicate about their gender. Woven
throughout the book are the lived experiences and counter-stories
of TGE children and adults that privilege their voices and
highlight their right to contribute equally to societal
understandings of gender and to access all the tools a given
society has available at the time to help them name and understand
their own experiences.The authors provide discourse, conceptual
frameworks and concrete strategies educators can use to inspire
resistant social imaginations (Medina, 2013) and actions that
improve gender justice for our youngest children.

By offering practical steps for adults who work with young children
to build inclusive and intentional spaces where all children
receive positive messages about their unique gender selves, this
book increases awareness about gender diversity in learning
environments such as child care centres, family child care homes
and preschools. The book is based on some of the most progressive,
modern understandings of gender and intersectionality, as well as
research on child development, gender health, trauma informed
practices and the science of adult learning. By including the
voices and lived experiences of gender-expansive children,
transgender adults, early childhood educators and parents and
family members of trans and gender-expansive children, it
contextualizes what it means to rethink early learning programs
with a commitment to gender justice and gender equality for all
children.
The main aim of this Element is to introduce the topic of limited
awareness, and changes in awareness, to those interested in the
philosophy of decision-making and uncertain reasoning. While it has
long been of interest to economists and computer scientists, this
topic has only recently been subject to philosophical
investigation. Indeed, at first sight limited awareness seems to
evade any systematic treatment: it is beyond the uncertainty that
can be managed. On the one hand, an agent has no control over what
contingencies she is and is not aware of at a given time, and any
awareness growth takes her by surprise. On the other hand, agents
apparently learn to identify the situations in which they are more
and less likely to experience limited awareness and subsequent
awareness growth. How can these two sides be reconciled? That is
the puzzle we confront in this Element.
