CHILDREN AND YOUTH AS SUBJECTS OBJECTS AGENTS K...

This textbook showcases innovative approaches to the interdisciplinary field of childhood and
youth studies  examining how young people in a wide range of contemporary and historical
contexts around the globe live their young lives as subjects  objects  and agents. The diverse
contributions examine how children and youth are simultaneously constructed: as individual
subjects through social processes and culturally-specific discourses  as objects of policy
intervention and other adult power plays  and also as active agents who act on their world and
make meaning even amidst conditions of social  political  and economic marginalization. In
addition  the book is centrally engaged with questions about how researchers take into
consideration children's and young people's own conceptions of themselves and how we
conceptualize child and youth potentials for agency at different ages and stages of growing up.
Each chapter discusses substantive research but also engages in self-reflection about
methodology  positionality  and or disciplinarity  thus making the volume especially useful for
teaching. This book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines
including childhood studies  youth studies  girls' studies  development studies  research
methods  sociology  anthropology  education  history  geography  public policy  cultural
studies  gender and women's studies and global studies.
