This textbook for advanced and post graduate students sets out the contexts of children's and young people's lives and encourages students to explore their complexities and contexts. This new edition has been substantially updated to discuss and analyse new topics and issues that have emerged over the last ten years, including: * developments in the way that children and young people's lives have been theorised and understood; * their engagement in all aspects of contemporary cultures including the spiritual as well as the digital; * the impact of recent political, economic and social change. Drawing on insights from psychology, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, geography and education, each chapter challenges students' assumptions and examines crucial issues in the field, such as participation, race, rights, law, transnational childhoods and sexuality. These different perspectives, drawing on different bodies of work, form a holistic picture of the multi-faceted lives of children and young people today.

By taking a detailed look at the implementation and management of intensive interaction in schools, the authors of this text offer practical guidance on how to get the most from the approach in a school context.

Suitable for teachers of upper Primary/lower Secondary pupils and as a resource for using with gifted children of 9 to 12 years, this book presents a child-centered perspective that offers an easy-to-follow model for teaching research methodology to children aged 10 and upwards.
