By regarding children as actors and conducting empirical research
on children's agency, Childhood Studies have gained significant
influence on a wide range of different academic disciplines. This
has made agency one of the key concepts of Childhood Studies, with
articles on the subject featured in handbooks and encyclopaedias.
Reconceptualising Agency and Childhood is the first collection
devoted to the central concept of agency in Childhood Studies. With
contributions from experts in the field, the chapters cover
theoretical, practical, historical, transnational and institutional
dimensions of agency, rekindling discussion and introducing
fundamental and contemporary sociological perspectives to the field
of research. Particular attention is paid to connecting agency in
the social sciences with Childhood Studies, considering both the
theoretical foundations and the practice of research into agency.
Empirical case studies are also explored, which focus upon child
protection, schools and childcare at a variety of institutions
worldwide. This book is an essential reference for students and
scholars of Childhood Studies, and is also relevant to Sociology,
Social Work, Education, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC)
and Geography.
