This comprehensive book shows how geographical concepts such as place, scale, mobility, and boundary making can be put to use by social scientists and practitioners focused on young people. Drawn from cases in Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom, the essays collected here demonstrate that local and national concerns remain central to many youth programs, while also highlighting the increasingly globalized nature of youth policy. Informed by cutting-edge theoretical approaches in human geography, sociology, anthropology, and youth work, "Critical Geographies of Childhood and...

One of the first book-length explorations of alternative learning spaces outside mainstream education, "Geographies of Alternative Education" offers a comparative analysis of alternative education in the UK, focusing on learning spaces that cater to children and young people. Using original research conducted at over fifty learning spaces, it demonstrates the importance of a geographical lens for understanding alternative education. In doing so, it develops new theories on autonomy, emotion and affect, intergenerational relations, and a number of other topics.

Over the past generation or so urban living has dramatically transformed, leading to significant changes in the lives of children and young people growing up today. Rapid urbanisation, formidable physical re-composition of cities, and the huge proliferation of urban populations are refashioning children s relationships to the towns and cities in which they live, and the modes of living as a young person within them. Drawing upon original data from a large-scale study of four sustainable urban environments in the UK, and upon cutting-edge research from other geographical contexts, this book...
