This edited collection draws together a variety of contexts of
contemporary childhoods, linking thinking from Canada with spaces
in the UK and Sweden. The contributors explores the discourses that
shape those childhoods and how this then impacts on the way that
children come to experience their everyday lives. The aim of the
book is not to reflect the entirety of childhood experience but to
draw off particular expertise that shine a light into partial, yet
significant areas of children's lives, with the contributions
engaging with a range of voices and perspectives. As a result, the
collection advocates the need for childhood studies to zoom out
from a predisposition to isolate the child, which has been seen as
a necessary part of conceptualizing childhood. As a result, the
book focuses on a 'context' for childhoods through a consideration
of both structure and agency, and through this seeks to recognise
the interconnected nature of the arenas within which children live
their everyday lives. A range of themes are covered, including the
education system, identity within the home, suicide in communities,
and younger children's 'political' engagement and sense of
belonging. Contextualising Childhoods will be of interest to
students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including
sociology, law, and education.
