Exploring Childhood and Youth (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Cooper, Victoria; Holford, Naomi

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This exciting new book illustrates and analyses the complexities of children's and young people's everyday lived experiences throughout childhood. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it provides theoretical frameworks and case studies to critically examine assumptions in the field and explore emerging perspectives. Considering different stages throughout childhood and youth, chapters cover key topics such as eating practices, gender, play, digital media and the environment.

Drawing upon insights from cultural studies, sociology, social anthropology, psychology, health and education, this book focuses on four key areas:

• Bodies and minds
• Space, place and belonging
• Inequalities and inclusion
• Childhood in the past, present and future

Essential reading for students on childhood and youth and education courses, Exploring Childhood and Youth is an important resource for practitioners working with children and young people, and for parents, communities and legislators who have influence over children's and young people's lives.
