Agency and Participation in Childhood and Youth presents new
critical engagement in conceptualising the roles of youth agency
and participation in education, development and the pursuit of
social justice. Theoretically, the book is framed within the
paradigm of the capability approach, initially developed by Nobel
Laureate, Amartya Sen, and further differentiated by others,
including philosopher, Martha Nussbaum. The book unravels the
complex relationships between the nature of youth agency and
participation, in education, but also in wider political, economic
and social arenas, and the potential of young people to expand
their freedoms to lead lives they have reason to value. It is thus
argued that ethical, sustainable development is contingent on the
nature of youth agency and participation in schooling and further
afield. Bringing together leading international experts researching
children's capabilities, Agency and Participation in Childhood and
Youth offers a unique exploration of links between exciting new
areas of development in theory, research and practical applications
of Sen and Nussbaum's ideas. The book addresses a significant gap
in the literature drawing on empirical data from the UK, the USA,
Jordan, Palestine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
Switzerland, New Zealand and beyond, with perspectives presented
from both within and outside schools and other formal educational
settings. Agency and Participation in Childhood and Youth is of
particular interest to academics, teaching professionals,
undergraduate and postgraduate students of education studies,
social policy, youth and development studies.
