Understanding Contemporary Childhood introduces students to the ways in which childhood is socially constructed by a range of social, cultural and political forces. Accessibly written and assuming no prior knowledge, it outlines key social theories to show how ideas and approaches are influenced by different ways of understanding children and society and how this creates childhoods which can differ markedly from previous generations.
With chapter guides, help with written assignments and suggestions for further reading, the book:
- Provides an accessible, yet critical account of established theories of childhood, such as the importance of attachment, emphasis on learning and the role of play;
- Explores crucial emerging issues, including transgender rights, the rise of misogyny, social media influences and the impact of the climate crisis; and
- Will equip students with practical study skills guidance to critically engage with ideas about how society shapes childhood today.
Whether new to the subject or deepening your critical perspective, this book equips readers with the tools to understand and interrogate the complex realities of childhood in the 21st century.
