Emerald Studies in Child Centred Practice

Series Editor: Sam Frankel, King’s University College, Western University, Canada; EquippingKids.org

Emerald Studies in Child Centred Practice: Voice, Collaboration and Change seeks to reposition the place of childhood studies as a discipline, highlighting its social value. This series explores the application of theories from childhood studies in practice. It highlights the place, purpose and power of these theories to inform practice and seeks to shape a child centred approach across the settings within which children live and experience their everyday lives – schools, families the legal and care system. Uniquely, books in the series will not only draw on academic insight but also include the perspectives of both practitioners and children. The series makes the case for the need for a shared dialogue as a foundation for re-imagining practice.

This series offers a new and valuable dimension to childhood studies with relevance for how wider society comes to engage with it. Indeed, it offers a chance for childhood studies to increase its presence in society − to demonstrate how an awareness of children's agency and the constructed nature of society can positively influence discourse and debate − with the hope that this can increasingly shape policy and practice and add value to children's everyday experiences. Proposals are welcome for the series that align to this goal and help us to develop and grow childhood studies. The series is particularly keen to explore multi-faceted aspects of children's lives, such as schooling, home lives, children's rights, child protection, activism, and more.

Acknowledgements

Thank you to all the authors who have contributed to ‘Part B’ of this project. As with Part A the contributions reflect the start of an international dialogue around these issues and I am very grateful for all those who have taken the time to contribute their perspective to this important area of enquiry.

It is exciting to see how methods of research increasingly reflect the value of children's voice, and it is through a participative process that the data that support many of these chapters are produced. It is therefore, with regard to all those who took part in the research on which these chapters are based that we share our thanks, and hope this forms part of an ongoing ambition for children, practitioners and academics to be part of conversations focused on advancing child-centred practice.

A special thank you to the team at Emerald for their support in enabling this project.
