Studies in Childhood and Youth

Series Editors Afua Twum-Danso Imoh University of Sheffield Sheffield, UK Nigel Thomas University of Central Lancashire Preston, UK Spyros Spyrou European University Cyprus Nicosia, Cyprus Penny Curtis University of Sheffield Sheffield, UK

This well-established series embraces global and multi-disciplinary scholarship on childhood and youth as social, historical, cultural and material phenomena. With the rapid expansion of childhood and youth studies in recent decades, the series encourages diverse and emerging theoretical and methodological approaches. We welcome proposals which explore the diversities and complexities of children’s and young people’s lives and which address gaps in the current literature relating to childhoods and youth in space, place and time. Studies in Childhood and Youth will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of areas, including Childhood Studies, Youth ­ Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, Politics, Psychology, Education, Health, Social Work and Social Policy.
