The entirely revised third edition of Research with Children forms
a unique resource book on the methodology of childhood research
with a core emphasis on theory driven practices. As in the previous
two editions, this edition presents particular standpoints in the
field, whilst also reflecting the latest developments in the now
well-established interdisciplinary field of childhood studies. A
rich collection of contributions from leading researchers across a
range of disciplinary backgrounds, research practices and
theoretical perspectives discuss central questions of epistemology
and methodology, demonstrating the links between theory and
practice. This edition includes exciting new chapters on:
Internet-based research and contemporary technology, Family based
research, Children as researchers, Participatory research in the
global context, New directions for childhood research. Both
theoretical and practical questions are set out in a well-argued
fashion that enables easier navigation through the various
complexities of the epistemological and methodological questions
arising in contemporary research practices with children. As such,
this text will appeal to both the newcomer to childhood studies and
to experienced researchers in the field. With fully updated
chapters, new material and a revised, clearer structure, this new
edition will be a valuable resource for researchers working with
children.

In the '40s and '50s many men from Denmark traveled to Greenland to
work. Here they met Greenlandic women-which more than once resulted
in pregnancies. Many of these men then returned to Denmark, which
meant that the children grew up as illegitimate children without
even knowing their fathers. One of these children was Anne Sofie
Hardenberg, who was teased all through her childhood for having a
Danish father-and an absent one at that. By the age of 17 she
gathered the courage to write to her father. To her surprise he was
very glad to hear from her, and wished to make her a part of his
family. Unluckily they only got three weeks together-then he died
in a car accident... This book is Anne Sofie's memoir accompanied
by photos and letters between her and her Danish family. Today,
still, there is a problem with the legal rights of this generation
of "fatherless" children.
This timely and thought-provoking book explores children's lives in contemporary cities. At a time of intense debate about the quality of life in cities, this book examines how they can become good places for children to live in. Through contributions from childhood experts in Europe, Australia and America, the book shows the importance of studying children's lives in cities in a comparative and generational perspective. It also contains fascinating accounts of city living from children themselves, and offers practical design solutions. The authors consider the importance of the city as a social, material and cultural place for children, and explore the connections and boundaries between home, neighbourhood, community and city. Throughout, they stress the importance of engaging with how children see their city in order to reform it within a child-sensitive framework. This book is invaluable reading for students and academics in the field of anthropology, sociology, social policy and education. It will also be of interest to those working in the field of architecture, urban planning and design.

Urban living has dramatically changed over the past generation,
refashioning children's relationships with the towns and cities in
which they live, and the modes of living within them. Focusing on
the global shift in urban planning towards sustainable urbanism -
from master planned 'sustainable communities', to the green
retrofitting of existing urban environments - Children Living in
Sustainable Built Environments offers a critical analysis of the
challenges, tensions and opportunities for children and young
people living in these environments. Drawing upon original data,
Children Living in Sustainable Built Environments demonstrates how
the needs, interests and participation of children and young people
often remain inferior to the design, planning and local politics of
new urban communities. Considering children from their crucial role
as residents engaging and contributing to the vitalities of their
community, to their role as consumers using and understanding
sustainable design features, the book critically discusses the
prospects of future inclusion of children and young people as a
social group in sustainable urbanism. Truly interdisciplinary,
Children Living in Sustainable Built Environments forms an original
theoretical and empirical contribution to the understanding of the
everyday lives of children and young people and will appeal to
academics and students in the fields of education, childhood
studies, sociology, anthropology, human geography and urban
studies, as well as policy-makers, architects, urban planners and
other professionals working on sustainable urban designs.
