| Notas: | The early years of life are fast gaining prominence around the world. It is well documented that investment in early childhood results in exceptionally high returns in multiple arenas; greater than those resulting from enterprise focused on later periods in people s lives. This book presents current early years research that reflects the transdisciplinary nature of childhood. The first in the Children and Childhoods series, this volume examines multiple perspectives, places and practices that constitute early childhood. The many facets of how children and childhoods are seen, where they are enacted and how they are played out are explained through explorations of playgrounds, hospitals, museums, child care centres and other locations. Similarly diverse are the methodologies that underpin these investigations. Children, practitioners, families and researchers all contribute to this cornucopia of children and childhoods. -- Internet. Volume 1 draws on a range of papers presented at the innaugural Children and Childhoods Symposium, held at Macquarie University, Australia in 2010. The examination of how children and childhoods are seen (perspectives), where they are enacted (places) and how they are played out (practices) sets the scene for the series. Contributions by Sheila Degotardi, Katey De Gioia, Rosemary Dunn, Frances Gibson, Fay Hadley, Kerry Hodge, Helen Little, Jennie Marston, Zinnia Mevawalla, Joanne Mulligan, Wendy Shepherd, Peter Whiteman, Shirley Wyver, Christine Zuvela. |
