Entangled Transitions: A Posthumanist Inquiry into Children’s Relational Engagements with a Mountain in a Rural Early Childhood Centre in Tendruk, Bhutan 

This study explores how Bhutanese children entangle with mountains during their transition from early childhood to primary school. Drawing on posthumanist, new materialist, and Bhutanese cosmologies, it challenges linear, individualised views of transition. Using multispecies ethnography and diffractive analysis, it rethinks transition as a relational process shaped by children’s daily encounters with mountains, materials, and more-than-human forces
