Description: Developments in neurosciences have moved into many spheres of early childhood education and policy. I am exploring the possible consequences for different populations and educational knowledge production of new narratives that are produced by the neurosciences latching onto the human capital model. How do developments in the neurosciences alter the ways in which the human capital model constructs problems, makes them intelligible and shapes interventions? On what kind of human being or child subjects these interventions are administered? My Foucauldian analysis offers a speculative examination of a series of possible narratives to critique (and destabilize) the possible effects of these policy directions.
