Investigating the experiences of a group of female students as they
journey into and through higher education, and into work with and
for children, Journeys through Childhood Studies offers a critical
analysis of the intersectional influences and effects of social
division on experiences of higher education and career
trajectories. The book explores the influences of gender, race, and
class on the experiences of higher education and the development of
professional identities, and whether the professionalisation of
work in relation to children and childhood opens up opportunities
for career development or narrows the range of choices available to
women. Adopting a distinctive qualitative approach to track
strategies used by women participants to accommodate the changing
terrain of their journeys, this book demonstrates how the women's
pathways to university are shaped by factors such as social
divisions, friends, family, and school, and their experiences of
working with children. Featuring detailed interviews, Journeys
through Childhood Studies offers an insightful exploration of the
construction and practices of the Children's Workforce. It is a
must-read for academics, postgraduate students, and those
researching Childhood Studies, professional identities, and
experiences of higher education.
