Childhood and Youth Studies
- Paula Zwozdiak-Myers - Brunel University, UK
This is a very useful text for students as it considers the social context and perceptions related to a number of key issues including 'risk'. The ideas in the book have really helped students to understand socially constructed ideas and values.
This book is an essential text to accompany a Childhood and Youth studies degree/Foundation degree. The psychosocial elements are well covered and the chapters are highly relevant for degree studies within this discipline and any related Childhood degree topics.
A useful text for anyone teaching/studying a programme involving the study of children/young people aged 0 - 19 years.
Essential reading for more than one unit of the degree.
Clear learning objectives, summary of key points and avctivities throughout to embed the concepts. Visual representations enable students to engage with the text.
This is a useful text and one which students find particularly accessible. Student friendly. Good foundation information which students can build upon.
