The Future of Childhood Studies

Since the 1990s, the emerging field of childhood studies has been catalyst for empirical research, for policy analysis, and for the development of professional practice. Which concepts and theories are the most helpful in analyzing phenomena relevant to childrens lives? The book reflects on this debate and discusses current challenges of major disciplines within the social studies of childhood.
