This book explores the everyday ways in which time marks the
experience of education as well as the concerns and methods of
education and youth research. It asks: what do we notice afresh and
what comes into sharper view when temporality becomes a focal
point? What theories and ways of seeing offer new angles onto
temporality in interaction with space and place? In responding to
these questions, the book engages with approaches from sociology,
history, and cultural and policy studies. It brings critical
attention to the movement and layers of time in the memories,
aspirations, and orientations of educational actors - across lives,
generations, and diverse places. Informed by the politics of
local/global relations and new transnational formations, the
chapters feature case studies located in Australia, the UK, India,
South Africa, the Philippines, and Finland. Topics examined include
processes of social and educational differentiation in disruptive
times, affective practices, intergenerational dynamics, collective
memory, archiving, mobilities and migration, school spaces, and
difficult histories. The authors grapple with what is involved
methodologically in interrogating the times and places of education
- including the construction of educational ideas, problems, and
policy solutions - and in historicising the time and places from
which we research, write, and work

Twins are everywhere these days! You see them in their double
strollers, at the park, on the street, in baby classes, and hogging
the aisles in stores-everywhere. Since when did having twins become
so popular? And how in the heck do these moms of twins do it? How
do you cope when you find out you're expecting twins? And how do
you get through the first year without ending up in the loony bin
or bankrupt?
Unlike other books on twins, "HEART TWO HEART" is written by
twin moms for other twin moms. (Even the book's editor is a twin
mom!) Where other books on twins focus mainly on medical issues,
psychological, educational, or parenting issues, "HEART TWO HEART"
tells twin moms what they need to know about what it's like day to
day for that first year of having twins.Where are twin moms
supposed to go to figure out what to buy in terms of twin gear?
What happens if an expectant mom of twins ends up on bedrest? How
do you feed two squalling infants at the same time-alone? What
might the father of twins experience? What kind of changes might
twin moms expect from their bodies?"HEART TWO HEART" tells it like
it is.
