Why children's geographies?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Children's geographies have become established as an important sub-discipline of geography. Work in this field is diverse, but is united by a recognition that children experience the world in very different ways from adults. This has led to innovative methodologies being deployed in an effort to listen to children's voices and understand how children in different circumstances see, experience and perceive places. This article introduces work in children's geographies and argues that perspectives from the sub-discipline can be used to inform teaching and research in many areas of human geography, including the post-16 curriculum.
