Joining the emergent interdisciplinary investment in bridging the
social sciences and the humanities, Childhood, Agency, and Fantasy:
Walking in Other Worlds explores linkages between children's agency
and fantasy. Fantasy as an integral aspect of childhood and as a
genre allows for children's spectacular dreams and hopeful
realities. Friendship, family, identity, loyalty, belongingness,
citizenry, and emotionality are central concepts explored in
chapters that are anchored by humanities texts of television, film,
and literature, but also by social science qualitative methods of
participant observation and interviews. Fantasy has the capacity to
be a revolutionary change agent that in its modernity can
creatively reflect, critique, or reimagine the social, political,
and cultural norms of our world. Such promise is also found to be
true of children's agency, wherein children's beings and becomings,
rooted in childhood's freedoms and constraints, result in a range
of outcomes. In the endeavor to broaden theory and research on
children's agency, fantasy becomes a point of possibility with its
expanding subjectivities, far-reaching terrain, and spirit of
adventure.
In Field Stories, William H. Leggett and Ida Fadzillah Leggett have
pulled together a collection of ethnographic research and classroom
experiences from around the world. Drawing on moments both
unfamiliar and all too familiar to those accustomed to fieldwork,
the contributors to this collection demonstrate in clear, relatable
prose how intimate engagements with others in the field can present
moments of rich ethnographic value that provide insight into global
interconnections.

affect, the contributors in this collection draw on their
ethnographic research and classroom experience to share instructive
narratives related to their personal encounters and insights from
working with local interlocuters. Drawing on moments both
