The very notions of childhood and youth are intimately connected to contemporary norms, practices and spaces of care, caring and care-giving. The provision of care is widely figured as both the primary responsibility of parents, carers and practitioners who work with children and young people, and the primary factor in shaping children and young people's development, education, socialisation, wellbeing and contentment. However, children and young people themselves are rarely figured as key actors in the provision of care. An overwhelming presumption that children and young people are to be...

This book examines child-nature definitions through two related concepts: the need for connecting to nature and the processes by which opportunities for such contact can be enhanced. This book analyses the available nature from a scientific perspective of habitats, species and environments, together with the role of...

There is an important and growing concern about young people's rights, the spaces from which those rights arise, and how those rights are enacted (or not) through space.
This book explores the curtailment of young people's spatial and citizenship rights in the face of seemingly free and open neoliberal statehood, and the ways young people push against those curtailments. With an in-depth case study of the Slovenian Izbrisani (literally 'erased') youth from 1992 to the present day, this book considers the spatial effects of the loss of legal status on young people. The case...
