Working to understand …
This paper developed from a keynote talk and discussion at the Annual RGS-IGB conference 2023. It draws on both authors’ work to examine how children work to understand their lives, identities and futures during global polycrises, particularly COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd in the US during the pandemic period. COVID-19 served to illuminate children’s geographies in both the global interconnectedness of children’s lives and the ways in w…
Digital geographies of/and childhood and youth
This article explores research on digital geographies of childhood and youth , critically considering (potential) contributions to wider scholarship in geography and interdisciplinary childhood studies. Although geographers’ engagement with this emerging field is developing productively, extant scholarship remains relatively diffuse and research methods-focused; more sustained interrogation of digital processes and experiences with/in young peopl…
Exploring polycrises through young people’s voices
This article examines the Covid-19 pandemic as, and as part of, polycrisis through the voices, experiences and adaptations of children and young people in São Paulo’s favelas. Based on participatory research with 44 youth aged 9–29 in Heliópolis and Paraisópolis (2022–2023), we analyze how overlapping health, educational, socioeconomic, political-institutional, and environmental crises intersected in their everyday lives. Through participatory re…
Thinking & doings with(in) collaboratories
This article introduces the special issue on collaboratories. Collaboratories create spaces for collaborative experimentation with children, generating vital opportunities not only for exchange and networking but also for speculation and inquiry as we compose and nurture conditions that respond to the question of what it means to live ethically in situated common worlds. Drawing on our work within the Common Worlds Research Collective, this intro…
Questioning relations in/and children’s geographies
This article questions the status of relations in children’s geographies and interdisciplinary childhood studies. Relations, relationality and relationships are fundamental, seemingly indispensable aspects of (the study of) childhood. However, the very status of relations – and the possibility that some aspects of children’s spatial lives may take place beyond relations – has rarely, if ever, been critically explored. Hence, this article raises a…
Temporal uncertainty, spatial stressors and disrupted connections
Intended to support to families, temporary accommodation can create stress and worry • Living in temporary accommodation has significant financial and time costs • The spatial characteristics of temporary accommodation undermine family wellbeing • Moving out of area disconnects families from support, education and employment • Living in temporary accommodation constitutes a pervasive form of slow violence The growing unaffordability of housing in…
Children and young people's access to food, education, play and leisure in times of crisis
The COVID‐19 pandemic led to an unprecedented global moment when the core needs of children and young people (rights for education, food, play and leisure) were not adequately addressed, recognised from a policy perspective and to varying extents, ignored. This paper, by bringing scholarship and grey literature together, provides an integrative, international, comprehensive review and analysis of how the pandemic affected children's core needs (a…
Fractured stories and voices of the future; coproduced research with young children and trees
What does it mean to bring very young children into conversations about climate change? Voices of the Future was a 3-year, multi-site project based in the UK, aiming to investigate treescapes through participatory research with children and young people. This paper focuses on a strand of the project that explored playing and making in and with treescapes, with children aged under 5 years and their grownups. We interrogate what it looks like to do…
Starting with trees
This paper explores learning about environments with a focus on starting with trees. The paper examines children and young people's perceptions of and engagement with trees, as part of a large grant that sought to examine the dis/benefits of trees for children's lives and learning. In this paper, we attempt to move beyond notions of ‘education for sustainability’ in that we start with knowledges generated with trees. We are concerned that current…

Giving up the 'Good Research Child
Do you like apples? Do you want to plant trees? Do you love books? Qualitative research with children is peppered with vignettes of what we conceptualise as the 'Good Research Child'. Good Research Children tell stories, plant trees, eat healthily, love reading and engage enthusiastically with researchers as co-playmates. They explore the world with drawings and oral stories and are enthusiastically portrayed by their adult researchers as unique,…
Água negra (black water) and overwhelming details
This paper advances multidisciplinary research, policy, education and activisms which cohere around the concept of the ‘water–energy–food (W–E–F) nexus’ via an evidence-led critique of normative forms of nexus-thinking which draws upon research with 3705 diverse young people's (aged 10–24 years) W–E–F experiences in SE Brazil. We consider how the neat, cool, ostensibly authoritative buzzword style of W–E–F nexus-thinking is radically unsettled – …
Growing up, moving out, going on
This article examines what we term the ‘un/making’ of friendships: the complex, sometimes non-linear ways in which friendships start, are maintained (or not) and break down (or not). In doing so we seek to open out some of these complexities and explore how they interact with the form of these relationships. Drawing on repeat, in-depth interviews and ethnography with a friendship group of young people in rural community in the English Midlands, t…
More than participatory? From 'compensatory' towards 'expressive' remote practices using digital technologies
Based on the shift from face-to-face participatory action research (PAR) with groups in situations of vulnerability to digital methods during COVID-19, we reflect on how we can go beyond compensating for the physical absence of the researcher from the field. We argue that instead of simply aiming to replace face-to-face research with a digital equivalent for maintaining 'participatory' and 'inclusive' research practices, remote practices have the…
Child Studies Multiple
This text is an exploration of collaborative thinking and writing through theories, methods, and experiences on the topic of the child, children, and childhood. It is a collaborative written text (with 32 authors) that sprang out of the experimental workshop Child Studies Multiple. The workshop and this text are about daring to stay with mess, 'un-closure' , and uncertainty in order to investigate the (e)motions and complexities of being either a…

Understanding the ‘degree awarding gap’ in geography, planning, geology and environmental sciences in UK higher education through peer research
This paper draws on critical race theory to analyse testimonies from students that help explain why minoritised ethnic communities studying geography, planning, geology and environmental sciences in the UK, have a lesser chance of being awarded a ‘good’ degree (i.e. an upper second- or first-class), in comparison to White British people. There are very low levels of ethnic diversity across these subject areas. We conducted peer research, includin…
Geographies of education
This paper provides a critical overview of scholarship on the geographies of education. The article explores some of the key roots, linguistic traditions, and conceptual underpinnings of what has become a burgeoning and diverse area of scholarship. It emphasises the different subdisciplinary areas to which research on geographies of education has contributed, including work on social reproduction, the relationship between education spaces and the…
Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Medals and Awards celebration 2020 and 2021
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) annual Medals and Awards recognise achievements in researching, communicating and teaching a wide range of geographical knowledge. The speeches and citations are a record of both the 2020 and 2021 celebrations, which were delayed and combined because of COVID-19, with contributions from Heather Viles, Andy Eavis, Rita Gardner, Jonathan Rigg, Chris Philo, Peter Kraftl, Patricia Noxolo, Emma Mawdsley and Ni…
Geographies of food beyond food
Engaging contemporary forms of nexus-thinking with interdisciplinary food scholarship and childhood and youth studies, this paper explores the social, cultural and political implications of young people’s entangled connections with – and beyond – food. The paper draws on a large-scale research project investigating young Brazilians’ relationships with and understandings of the water-energy-food nexus. Based upon ethnographic, mixed-methods resear…
Articulating encounters between children and plastics
In the context of global concerns about plastics, this paper sets out and exemplifies a research agenda for articulating children's encounters with plastics. The paper analyses data co-produced with 11-15 year-olds through interviews, app-based research and experimental/arts-led workshops. It moves beyond scholarship in health and environmental sciences, and in environmental education research, to outline a far richer range of ways to conceptuali…
Working with childhoods and energies
This paper critically reflects upon the work of collaboratories in researching childhoods and energies (‘childhoods-energies’). It compares divergent approaches to thinking with energy, children and young people in Canada and the UK. Although we begin from common conceptual foundations - inspired by feminist, new materialist, posthumanist and Common Worlds perspectives - we focus on tensions, incommensurabilities and differences in our thinkings …
So you’re literally taking the piss?! Critically analysing and accounting for ethics (and risk) in interdisciplinary research on children and plastics
Whilst interdisciplinarity has been an integral part of childhood studies, it is less common for social scientists and natural scientists to collaborate in this space – and especially with scholars like environmental (nano)scientists. This paper draws on vignettes from a project about children and plastics, which combined a range of qualitative, artistic and biosampling methods. Focusing on these methodological intersections, the paper critically…
Children living in pandemic times
The aim of this editorial to the Viewpoints Special Issue on ‘Children Living in pandemic Times: a geographical, transnational and situated view’ is, on the one hand, to present a transnational general picture of the COVID-19 situation for children. And on the other, to make a call for childhood researchers particularly focused on children's geographies, to collaboratively approach this unprecedented situation. The main aspects of children living…
Architecture/Affect/Inhabitation
Architectural design operates beyond symbolic and representational interpretation. Drawing on recent "nonrepresentational" geographies, we demonstrate how architectural space can be rethought through the concept of affect. We explore how individual buildings and their architects preconfigure, limit, and engender particular affects to accomplish very particular goals. Our analysis is based on two buildings in the United Kingdom: an ecological scho…
What else? some more ways of thinking and doing 'Children's Geographies
Children's Geographies' could do more. In this paper we present a succession of key ideas currently arising in and of new and emergent theoretical, philosophical and conceptual work in the Social Sciences. We invite reflection upon each of these ideas in turn, with a mind, specifically, to 'Children's Geographies'. In so doing, we make two broad claims. First, that greater engagement with some or all of these ideas might prove useful, enabling, t…
Building an idea
This paper explores how ideas and ideals are constructed. More specifically, it follows how ideas and ideals of ‘childhood’ are constructed. Still more specifically, it attends to the ways in which idea(l)s of childhood are literally and materially constructed, in, through and as part of practices such as the building and maintenance of architectural forms. I argue that most studies of childhood largely ignore the importance of local, banal, ephe…
Rats, assorted shit and 'racist groundwater
Reflecting on a study of children's outdoor play in a 'white, working class estate' in east London, this paper argues that social-material processes that are characteristically massy, indivisible, unseen, fluid and noxious have, problematically, remained hidden-in-plain-sight within multidisciplinary research with children and young people. For example, juxtaposing qualitative and autoethnographic data, we highlight children's vivid, troubling na…

Young People, Hope, and Childhood-Hope
This article outlines a number of steps toward a more sensitive and affirmative conception of childhood and hope (“childhood-hope”). Throughout the article, the author explores how our understandings of hope might be extended via an examination of childhood-hope. First, it considers childhood as a universalizing, affective condition, which can be characterized by very simplistic, and problematic, notions of hope, logic, and futurity. The author c…
For more-than-usefulness
A number of recent Children's Geographies articles (Catan, 2003; Cunningham, 2003; Karsten, 2003; Cahill, 2004; Pain, 2004; Smith, 2004; Vanderbeck and Morse Dunkley, 2004) might be caricatured as
Not just growing up, but going on
This paper argues that non-representational theories, relating to materialities, spacings, embodiments and events, are important to children's geographies. In so doing, it suggests in particular that we might engage with the becoming-ness of children's geographies in a number of new ways. This point is made via four (ostensibly banal, everyday) examples: wearing glasses; visiting the local park; being clumsy; and one's first day in school. Throug…
Utopia, Performativity, and the Unhomely
In this paper I discuss how a differently conceived performative and architectural understanding of Utopia can help us to rework and extend notions of utopianism that have received renewed attention in recent times. In developing this point, I argue that, although notions of dwelling and comfort are key to Utopia and architecture, the 'unhomely' and 'unsettling', which also appear in aspects of thought on performativity, are a crucial and as-yet …
What (Else) Matters? Policy Contexts, Emotional Geographies
In this paper we reflect upon a particular, policy-oriented evaluation of a Sure Start Centre: a small element of a UK government programme addressing children's well-being in 'deprived' neighbourhoods. Specifically, and contra some chief social-scientific accounts, we seek to acknowledge how 'policy' and 'emotion' were inseparable in this project. We suggest that policy and media discourses, and much extant research, regarding Sure Start have be…
Re)thinking (re)connection
This paper critically analyses pervasive contemporary discourses that call for children and young people to be “reconnected” with nature and natural resources. Simultaneously, it reflects on emerging forms of nexus thinking and policy that seek to identify and govern connections between diverse sectors, and especially water, energy and food. Both of these fields of scholarship are concerned with connections, of different kinds, and at different s…
Towards geographies of ‘alternative’ education
In this paper, I argue for the development of geographies of ‘alternative’ education. In light of growing geographical interest in education, I argue for a focus on sites that explicitly offer non‐mainstream, non‐state‐sanctioned forms of learning in contexts where it is assumed that children will go to school. I exemplify my discussion through interviews with 30 UK‐based homeschooling families. In seeking to advance geographical research on educ…

Spaces of every-night life
Over one third of most human lives — and hence one third of human geographies — is spent asleep. It is our contention in this paper that human geographers should take sleep, sleeping and sleepiness more seriously as topics for theoretical, empirical and critical research than has hitherto been the case. This paper provides a preliminary indication of potentially fruitful directions for geographical research on sleep, reviewing salient extant work…

Living in an artwork
In light of current attention to the `everyday', this paper attends to the construction and negotiation of one particular building as an avowedly `extraordinary place'. The paper examines how unusual mixtures of diverse properties (such as `artwork' and `tourist attraction') at the Hundertwasser-Haus in Vienna are always actively and collectively operated such that the house produces and maintains its extraordinariness. Moreover, it forwards the …
Ecological architecture as performed art
This article focuses on a group of buildings that form the site for a Steiner school in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. It examines the ways in which an environmentally friendly, ‘ecological’ structure was (and is) constructed such that the building and its accompanying practices might be seen as ‘performed art’. By more critically examining the school's geographies through ethnographic material, the paper moves away from the buildings' symbolic meani…
Promoting climate change transformation with young people in Brazil
Amid research into the mounting social and environmental threats presented by climate change, young people’s everyday experiences and knowledges are often overlooked, despite being the generation that will be most affected by climate change. We present a ‘looping’ methodology, developed through collaborative work between two distinct but complementary research projects wherein young people in the Paraíba do Sul watershed, São Paulo state, Brazil …
Claiming events of school (re)design
This paper focuses upon a major, 'flagship' programme of investment in school building (re)development instigated by the UK New Labour Government between 2004 and 2010: Building Schools for the Future (BSF). Drawing upon empirical material from research in two schools which were undergoing refurbishment in this policy context, we explore how BSF was manifest, in practice, as an event characterised by the promise of transformation. We focus upon t…
Alter-Childhoods
In this article, I consider “alter-childhoods”: explicit attempts to imagine, construct, talk about, and put into practice childhoods that differ from perceived mainstreams. I critically examine alter-childhoods at fifty-nine alternative education spaces in the United Kingdom. I analyze alternative education spaces through the lens of biopolitics, developing nascent work in children's geographies and childhood studies around hybridity and biopowe…
Liveability and Urban Architectures
Contemporary analyses of biopolitics and the governance of 'life itself' have concentrated on molecular processes in domains such as medicine and neuroscience. In this paper, I turn an analytical lens on urban architectures, with a focus upon a particular programme of large-scale housebuilding in the UK: the Sustainable Communities agenda. I argue first that Sustainable Communities constitutes a resonant but qualitatively different attempt to pla…
Holding the Future Together
Social scientists often use the notion of 'transition' to denote diverse trajectories of change in different types of bodies: from individuals, to communities, to nation-states. Yet little work has theorised how transition might occur across, between, or beyond these bodies. The aim of this paper is to sketch out a multiple, synthetic, and generative (but by no means universal) theory of transition. Primarily drawing on the British context, we ex…

Living on a building site
This paper examines experiences of young people (9–16) who live in new communities that are under construction. In the context of large-scale housing developments, built in England after 2000, it analyses various ways in which young people engage with life ‘on a building site’. From ethnographic research in three unfinished communities, several inter-linked themes became apparent: how young people engaged with building sites in both aesthetic and…

Small acts, kind words and “not too much fuss”
In this paper, we suggest that social scientists' accounts of ‘activism’ have too often tended to foreground and romanticise the grandiose, the iconic, and the unquestionably meaning-ful, to the exclusion of different kinds of ‘activism’. Thus, while there is a rich social-scientific literature chronicling a social history of insurrectionary protests and key figures/thinkers, we suggest that there is more to ‘activism’ (and there are more kinds o…
Utopia, Childhood and Intention
In this article, I critically discuss the question of utopian intentionality via an attention to the politics of childhood. Principally, this article posits a juxtaposition between grand, fully‐intending, adult hopes for children and more modest, concrete kinds of hoping enacted by young people themselves (especially teenagers). I first outline how childhood and utopia have rarely been interrogated together by academics. Then, focusing upon utopi…

Architectural movements, utopian moments
This article explores some of the manifold entanglements of architecture and utopia. It takes as a case study a social housing block in Vienna: the Hundertwasser-Haus. \nThe house was designed by the artist-architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser and has attracted enormous attention from the architectural press and tourists. I articulate a series of architectural “movements”, manifest in Hundertwasser’s design philosophy, press reportage about the …

Clearing out a Cupboard
This chapter is about moments in life when — perhaps in the course of leaving home, or moving house, or living-on after bereavement — we find ourselves clearing out a cupboard, sorting through its contents, sifting through shelves full of a life’s materiality. We reflect upon some personal memories and emotions occasioned by such a task: sometimes haunting, sometimes odd, sometimes joyful and sometimes banal. In particular, we will suggest that s…
Utopian Promise or Burdensome Responsibility? A Critical Analysis of the UK Government's Building Schools for the Future Policy
This paper critically analyses a nationwide school‐building programme in England: Building Schools for the Future ( BSF ). It is argued that, between 2003 and 2010, the UK Government's policy guidance for BSF represented a (re)turn to utopian discourse in governmental policy‐making, mobilised in order to justify a massive programme of new school building in the UK. In doing so, BSF connected with the promise of three further discourses: school(‐c…
