The Routledge Companion to Gender and Childhood brings together scholars, practitioners, and activists to explore the diversity of children’s gender identities, expressions, and embodiments across historical, geographical, and cultural contexts.
This volume investigates how historical, institutional, and cultural forces have shaped children’s relationship to gender, the pivotal role children have played in the construction of gendered categories, as well as children’s responses to these forces and constructions. The book is divided into six sections:
- Responding to Gendered Histories and Presents of Policing, Pathologization, and Trauma;
- Images of and Imaginings for Trans, Non-Binary, and Queer Youth’s Futures;
- Global Perspectives on Training and Assimilating Future Citizens;
- Gender Development in Material and Digital Cultures;
- Shifting and Persisting Gendered Representations in Cultural Landscapes; and
- Approaching Issues of Gender and Childhood from Adult Perspectives
Considering the multiplicity of gendered childhoods alongside the intense preoccupation with children’s relationship to gender across a range of fields that span the globe, The Routledge Companion to Gender and Childhood will be an essential resource for students of social sciences, humanities, and STEM.
