Description
Book SynopsisSeit den 1990er Jahren ist das aufstrebende Feld der Kinderforschung ein Katalysator für empirische Forschung, für Politikanalyse und für die Entwicklung der beruflichen Praxis. Welche Konzepte und Theorien sind bei der Analyse von Phänomenen, die für das Leben von Kindern relevant sind, am hilfreichsten? Das Buch reflektiert diese Debatte und diskutiert aktuelle Herausforderungen der wichtigsten Disziplinen innerhalb der Soziologie der Kindheit.
Trade Review“’The Future of Childhood Studies’ provides an interesting and much-appreciated glance into what is cooking in German Childhood Studies, a less familiar corner of our field for many.”
