ChildhoodNature Collective: An Assemblage of the Knots and Threads in Repositioning ChildhoodNature Research

Fri, April 13, 4:05 to 6:05pm, New York Marriott Marquis, Floor: Fifth Floor, Belasco

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

With the advent of the ‘children in nature movement’ there has been resurgence in public visibility of the field ChildhoodNature. This resurgence has primarily been orchestrated on a small collection of well-known books (Chawla, 2002; Louv, 2005, 2011; Sobel, 1996, 2005, 2008). These books, although focused on the ways and means of educating children in nature, have tended not to problematize the implications for this field or be instrumental in supporting new theoretical perspectives and associated research methodologies. In this Symposium the Editors, Section/Companion Editors and Authors (ChildhoodNature Collective) of the forthcoming International Research Handbook on ChildhoodNature (https://meteor.springer.com/sihe-cn) will lead a robust dialogue on the research and theoretical knots and threads assembling this world-first major works and collective in ChidhoodNature.
