Emerald Studies in Child Centred Practice seeks to reposition the place of childhood studies as a discipline by highlighting its social value and shaping a child-centred approach across the settings within which children live and experience their everyday lives.
Aims and scope
Emerald Studies in Child Centred Practice explores the application of theories from childhood studies in practice.
It highlights the place purpose and power of these theories to inform practice and seeks to shape a child-centred approach across the settings within which children live and experience their everyday lives – schools, families, the law, and the care system.
Uniquely, books in the series not only draw on academic insight but also include the perspectives of both practitioners and children. The series makes the case for the need for a shared dialogue as a foundation for re-imagining practice.
This series offers a new and valuable dimension to childhood studies with relevance for how wider society comes to engage with it. It offers a chance for childhood studies to increase their presence in society – to demonstrate how an awareness of children's agency and the constructed nature of society can positively influence discourse and debate – with the hope that this can increasingly shape policy and practice and add value to children’s everyday experiences.
