Description:

Global Studies of Childhood was conceptualized as a multidisciplinary space for researchers to share work that interrogates and challenges the complexities inherent to young people’s lives in the 21st century. Over seven years it has been at the forefront of innovation from its inception as an online-only journal with alternative and cutting edge papers from authors in the disciplines of Education, the Social Sciences and Humanities. GSC is a discussion forum for ideas and empirical examples of the ways in which globalization and the associated conditions are experienced by children in multiple locations. Our Aims and Scope detail the wide range of interests that we have and this is also reflected in the depth of our Editorial Board. We are seeking papers from researchers who work with children and young people in a world context, where the impact of global imperatives on the lives of children has yet to be fully understood. Global Studies of Childhood is a peer-reviewed, internationally focused, online research journal. GSC aims to present opportunities for scholars and emerging researchers to interrogate the ways in which globalization and new global perspectives impacts on childhoods. We hold a broad view of childhoods that goes beyond the traditional biological and chronological age definitions. We are interested in alternative conceptualisations of childhoods and the challenges inherent to young peoples contemporary and future lives in increasingly complex globalised world contexts.This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
