Somewhere on this spectrum, between the extremes of new and old, critical and acritical, Erica Burman has issued a call to the field—an appeal to re-engineer the traditional substructures of developmental psychology. Twenty years later, this call has been only inconsistently heeded and, in the realm of academia, has fallen squarely in the margins. In what follows, speaking from our respective positions as a current graduate student and a professor of psychology, we will consider three kinds of challenges that present themselves in the face of a critical woman-centered post-structural reading of developmental psychology. There is first the challenge that historical and political context produce; second, the challenge of what new directions past knowledge makes possible; and, finally, there is the challenge of questioning the oft regarded ‘‘well-oiled’’ machine that is science within the academy. Considering these challenges will serve to answer the pulsating question at the very heart of this special edition: what has happened in the field since the first publication of Deconstructing Developmental Psychology (DDP)? As a student of developmental psychology and as a professor of clinical psychology at a large American research university, the present authors have yet to
