In response to the rapidly fluctuating political, social, and fiscal contexts of the 21st century, where globalization, migration, colonization, and increased digital communication have become central to daily life, the field of childhood studies has experienced significant shifts. As childhood becomes increasingly complex, the scholarly direction of childhood studies has turned toward issues of situated politics, environmental precarities, social justice, innovative pedagogies, and co-constructed knowledge. Journal of Childhood Studies (formerly, Canadian Children) aims to open space for publications related to the urgent, contested realities of globalized childhoods.
