N2 - The science and practice of Early Childhood Development (ECD) rely heavily on research from the Euro-American middle class—a minority of the world's population—and research in or from the majority world is severely under-represented. This problem has been acknowledged in ECD,1 an applied field aiming to assess and improve child development globally, and in the related fields of global health2 and developmental sciences.3 Thus, now is the time to search for effective pathways towards global representation. To date, most calls for change within ECD and related fields have focused on various aspects of knowledge production4 and publication.1, 5
