Debating Childhoods

Critical Perspectives on Early Childhood

This book offers a critical and thought-provoking exploration of a range of key contemporary debates relating to early childhood (in the UK). With contributions from a range of experts, this book aims to empower students and professionals to engage critically with issues of social justice, children’s rights and the shaping of young children’s lives.

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.
