Studies in Childhood and Youth Series Editors Allison James University of Sheffield Department of Sociological Studies Sheffield, United Kingdom Adrian James University of Sheffield Department of Sociological Studies Sheffield, United Kingdom
This series offers a multi-disciplinary perspective on exploring childhood and youth as social phenomena that are culturally located, articulating children’s and young people’s perspectives on their everyday lives. The aim of the series will be to continue to develop these theoretical perspectives through publishing both monographs and edited collections that present cutting-edge research within the area of childhood studies. It will provide a key locus for work within the field that is currently published across a diverse range of outlets and will help consolidate and develop childhood studies as a discrete field of scholarship.
