Synopsis: This book aims to challenge dominant narratives of childhood, offering a critical exploration of ten contemporary debates. Authored by experienced professionals and academics in the field, this thought-provoking book examines the impact of these debates on children′s lived experiences through a socio-cultural lens. Bolstered by reflective questions and illustrative case studies, it stimulates discussions on social justice, children′s rights, and their positioning within political and economic contexts. Written for students and professionals, ‘Debating Childhoods’ serves as a catalyst for critical engagement and aims to empower current and future scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to consider their roles in shaping the lives of young children.
