Reviews

  • 'Blundell provides an authoritative overview of the many publications about the social construction of childhood, coupled with an original analysis of the moral and theological origins of the concept of childhood and their relevance to contemporary society and schooling. This is an important book for those involved in the education and care of children at all levels.' Stephen Ward, Dean of the School of Education, Bath Spa University, UK

  • 'Education and the Constructions of Childhood is immediately accessible and engaging to undergraduates who are embarking on a study of childhood. This book provides a strong and cohesive framework for understanding the development of the idea of childhood over time. There are useful activities scattered throughout the text that will support the readers own ideas and their thinking as they engage with the text. This book should be recommended as core reading for all first year students on courses as diverse as Early Childhood Studies, Education Studies and Initial Teacher Training.' Derek Kassem, Principal Lecturer and Centre Leader for Education and Early Childhood Studies, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
