In recent years, childhood studies has become an increasingly
popular programme at colleges and universities. This broad-ranging
guide has been designed for use on such courses and introduces
students to the key issues in the study of childhood, from infancy
through to adulthood.
The text approaches childhood studies from an interdisciplinary
and multi-professional perspective, presenting the basics of
psychology, social welfare, education, health, law, culture,
rights, politics and economics as they relate to children. For each
discipline, the role of relevant professionals, such as social
workers, nursery teachers, paediatric nurses and child lawyers, is
also considered. The contributors have both practical and academic
backgrounds in a range of specialist areas.To support student
learning, each chapter includes an independent learning activity,
case studies and an annotated bibliography, and there is a glossary
of technical terms at the back of the book.
