Abstract
Vertovec's (Ethnic Racial Stud 30(6):1024-1054, 2007) summary notion of 'super-diversity' challenges social researchers to multivariate inquiries of diversity. This chapter presents super-epistemic diversity as a conceptual approach to understanding multi-stranded, uneven and multidirectional flows of knowledge in the context of Futuro Infantil Hoy (FIH), an innovative transnational early childhood education program. It critically examines primary evidence of the interplay of global and local knowledge of the super-diverse intellectual stakeholders in FIH. Findings show that this knowledge interplay has promoted a perceived paradigm shift about family involvement in children's education and prompts a reconsideration of the nature of super-epistemic diversity.
