Description
Critical Childhood Studies: A Global Perspective explores the complexities of childhood through an interdisciplinary approach. This comprehensive text introduces key concepts in childhood studies, including agency, intersectionality, and children's rights, to stimulate readers' analysis and application. The book draws on diverse perspectives from fields such as child development, education, history, human rights, media studies, philosophy, public health, and social anthropology. Organised around five sections, it features commentaries from international experts, guiding questions, challenge tasks, quotes, and a glossary of terms to support pedagogical learning. A companion website offers additional resources, including videos from authors, students, and practitioners, interactive tasks, and other materials to enhance the reader's understanding.
