Childhood and Nation explores the historical and manifold current
relations between nation and childhood. Millei and Imre bring
together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars
to address many pressing questions of today. The analytical
incisions created by nation and childhood bring answers to the
following questions: How do national agendas related to economic,
social and political problems exploit children and tighten their
regulation? How do representations of nations take advantage of
ideals of childhood? Why do nations look to children and search for
those characteristics of childhood that help them solve
environmental and humanitarian issues? The book offers a fresh look
at the theme of nation and childhood by offering multiple
methodologies from fields including education, policy studies,
political science, sociology, anthropology, literature, and
psychology.
For over a century, teachers, parents, and school leaders have
lamented a loss of 'discipline' in classrooms. Caught between
guidance approaches on the one hand and a call for zero tolerance
on the other, current debates rarely venture beyond the terrain of
implementation strategies. This book aims to reinvigorate thinking
on 'discipline' in education by challenging the notions,
foundations, and paradigms that underpin its use in policy and
practice. It confronts the understanding of 'discipline' as purely
repressive, and raises the possibility of enabling forms and
conceptualizations of 'discipline' that challenge tokenistic
avenues for students' liberation and enhance students' capacity for
agency. This book is an essential resource for university
lecturers, pre-service and in-service teachers, policymakers, and
educational administrators who want to re-think 'discipline' in
education in ways that move beyond a concern with managing
disorder, to generate alternative understandings that can make a
difference in students' lives.
