This elective module introduces key concepts of Childhood Studies, applying them to children’s roles in society, children’s practices, and children’s creation and consumption of culture. There are no pre-requisite modules, but if you have already studied Sociology of Childhood, this module will utilize and extend your understanding in this area. Children, Culture and Society offers a critical sociological overview of perspectives on childhood, and the implications of these perspectives for children’s everyday lives, cultural activities and participation, both in western countries and in the majority world. Through reading, reflection and discussion, students will be encouraged to consider children’s lives in context, and the importance of interactions between children and adults. A particular focus will be contemporary debates around children’s material and media cultures, including relevant case studies.

2018-12-13 Reimagining Childhood Studies Bloomsbury Academic
ISBN 9781350019225 ISBN-13 1350019224

Reimagining Childhood Studies incites, and provides a forum for, dialogue and debate about the direction and impetus for critical and global approaches to social-cultural studies of children and their childhoods. Set against the backdrop of a quarter century of research and theorising arising out of the new social studies of childhood, each of the 13 original contributions strives to extend the conceptual reach and relevance of the work being undertaken in the dynamic and expanding field of childhood studies in the 21st century. Internationally renowned contributors engage with contemporary scholarship from both the global north and south to address questions of power, inequity, reflexivity, subjectivities and representation from poststructuralist, posthumanist, postcolonial, feminist, queer studies and political economy perspectives. In so doing, the book provides a deconstructive and reconstructive dialogue, offering a renewed agenda for future scholarship. The book also moves the insights of childhood studies beyond the boundaries of this field, helping to mainstream insights about children's everyday lives from this burgeoning area of study and avoid the dangers of marginalizing both children and scholarship about childhood. This carefully curated collection extends beyond critiques of specified research arenas, traditions, concepts or approaches to serve as a bridge in the transformation of childhood studies at this important juncture in its history.

2021-12-24 Child and Youth Participation in Policy, Practice and Research
ISBN 0367568292 ISBN-13 9780367568290

This book showcases rights based participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research with children and youth. Throughout its three parts, the book conceptualises a rights-based participatory approach; showcases constructive and innovative rights based participatory approaches across the domains of research, policy and practice; and interrogates the challenges and complexities in the implementation of such an approach. In recent times, Ireland has been at the forefront of promoting and implementing participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research focused on children and youth. This edited volume is a timely opportunity to capture previously undocumented learning generated from a wide range of innovative participatory initiatives implemented in Ireland. In capturing this learning, real world guidance will be provided to international policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working with children and youth. This book is essential reading for those interested in a rights based participatory approach, for those who want to appropriately and meaningfully engage children and youth in research, and for those wishing to maximise the contribution of children and youth in policy-making.
