Reconceptualising Practice with Children and Youth
Issued by
Griffith University
Earners focus on contestations in contemporary understandings of childhood and practice with young children and youth. Earners use socio-cultural and post-structuralist theory to deconstruct how historical understandings of childhood, parenting, care and education delimit current practice. New ways of thinking about young children, youth and families are explored.
