Childhoods in context offers a critical exploration of childhood,
drawing attention to the physical and social context of children
and young people's lives. Three key themes are explored: *
Childhood is always located somewhere. The book offers insights
into childhood by focusing on places specially designed for
children as well as the territories that children develop for
themselves. * Childhood is experienced through objects, people and
places and through everyday routines. Discussions about childhood
are rooted in the details of children's lives, whether on the
street, in an institution or in different definitions of home. *
Childhood and adult identities are relational. Definitions and
understandings of childhood are dependent on how adulthood is
viewed. These themes are explored through accounts of home and
family, school, public spaces and sites of work in local and global
settings. They raise questions about methodological approaches to
understanding childhoods in context which is the focus of the
concluding chapter. This is the third in a series of four books,
written by experts in the field, which provides an introduction to
childhood degree programmes and related modules. The series
features international case studies, examples and readings to
supplement the chapters, and is illustrated in full colour. Other
books in the series are: * Understanding childhood: a
cross-disciplinary approach * Children and young people's cultural
worlds * Local childhoods, global issues
