‘A School Day’ Board Game
Considering the time children spend in schools and the impact this time has on their present and future lives, developing a better understanding of their school experiences is crucial for those interested in childhoods and children. Such understanding requires methodologies that respect children’s evolving capacities and rights, while addressing the methodological challenges arising from their marginalised position. This paper introduces ‘A Schoo…
Student engagement in the Irish primary classroom
This paper examines the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and student engagement, and the degree to which student voice and behavioural difficulties moderate such associations. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) students face greater barriers to their engagement with school due to the effects of home and family characteristics, as well as a disconnect between social class values and the values of the education system. This study invest…

Will biodiversity actions yield healthy places? A systematic review of human health outcomes associated with biodiversity‐focused urban greening
There is growing interest in using urban greening projects to support biodiversity. While there are many potential co‐benefits, the health outcomes resulting from biodiversity‐supporting activities have yet to be synthesized. We conducted a systematic review of health outcomes associated with seven biodiversity‐supporting elements, including patch size, connections, matrix quality, habitat diversity, native plants, special resources and vegetatio…
The Migrant Feminism
This study explores the migratory experiences of 15 Cape Verdean women in Italy, aiming to analyze how migration has shaped their self-perception, personal emancipation, and relationship with the host society. We adopt a qualitative interpretative phenomenological approach to explore the gendered experiences of Cape Verdean migrant women in Italy. Through a qualitative analysis of interviews, key themes emerge, including the importance of educati…
“What does well-being mean to me?” Conceptualisations of well-being in Irish primary schooling
Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of the term well-being as conceptualised by parents, grandparents, principals and teachers in the Irish primary education system. Design/methodology/approach A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was adopted to understand the nature and meaning of the phenomenon of well-being. Interviews were carried out with 54 principals, teachers, parents and grandparents from a representative sa…
Adolescents' digital lives
In Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China, non-government organizations (NGOs) play a pivotal role in the planning and provision of social services. With the government's emphasis on accountability, output control and cost-effectiveness in the delivery of services, NGOs need information to measure their activities, link their inputs with outputs, and facilitate accomplishing their goals. This research inv…
Understanding Children’s Experiences of Care in Their School Lives Through Participatory Research Methods
The theoretical development of the ‘new sociology of childhood,’ coinciding with the recognition of children’s right to express their voice and have it heard on matters affecting them, has inspired the proliferation of participatory methods in research with and by children. This paper addresses a gap in the methodological literature by comparing two such participatory methods, focus group discussions and photovoice, in an exploration of care in c…
Empires of Lies? The Political Uses of Cultural Heritage in War
On the 24th of February 2022, Vladimir Putin addressed the Russian Federation in a televised speech announcing a ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine. Putin castigated the West as an ‘Empire of Lies’ and drew upon Russian history and cultural heritage to justify his invasion of Eastern Ukraine. This article investigates how cultural memory has been manipulated in the war in Ukraine, and in the previously occupied Crimea. We argue that cul…
Children as co‐researchers in pandemic times
This paper documents co‐participatory research with children in six primary schools in Ireland during the COVID‐19 pandemic. It explores the use of what we term digital dialogues with diverse groups of children aged 9–10 years as members of Child Research Advisory Groups. The paper conceptualises the digital dialogues as sites of resistance as well as constraint, empowering children to articulate their voices in relation to schooling and the pand…
Picturing safety and danger
The question of dangers and safety in children's lives has become a matter of increasing concern. This paper aims to contribute to the discussion in this field and elaborate on children's experiences of risks and dangers in the context of chronic poverty. Drawing on the post‐humanism approach, we argue that children's conceptions of risks and dangers emerge through their active and mutual exchange with other human and non‐human beings such as riv…
Not Getting What You Want
As adolescents desire the benefits of having greater social status, some teenagers cannot acquire their desired level of popularity. The current study uses a single high school to examine how the discrepancy between popularity goals and actual popularity aligns with aggression and prosocial behaviors. The current study suggests that the discrepancy between popularity and popularity goals aligns with having more aggression and prosocial behaviors …
Bullies, victims, and meanies
This study used a personal oriented approach to identify distinct combinations of children’s experiences of bullying and victimisation in the Irish primary school context. The study investigated the social and emotional characteristics that predicted those profiles at individual and classroom levels. The sample of 2,062 participants was drawn from the Irish national cohort study Children’s School Lives. We analysed teacher reports of individual c…
Post-Conflict reconstruction, forced migration & community engagement
The war in Syria, and the rise of non-state radical actors placed a spotlight on the scale and intensity of destruction of cultural heritage sites in Syria. The Ancient City of Aleppo, a World Heritage Site was particularly hard hit by the conflict and when the city was re-unified in late 2016, several national and international organisations started to plan its post-war reconstruction. However, despite the fact that the war in Syria is now appro…
Arqueologia da Guerra do Contestado (1912-1916)
O artigo apresenta os resultados obtidos até o momento sobre pesquisa arqueológica de longo curso sobre a Guerra do Contestado (1912-1916), que ocorreu no meio oeste do Estado de Santa Catarina e opôs a população sertaneja da região contra as forças militares federais e estaduais. Até esta ocasião, foram registradas dezenas de sítios associados ao conflito propriamente dito. Além disso, têm-se realizado estudos sobre locais associados ao processo…
Student Engagement in Adolescence
We systematically mapped and analyzed the longitudinal research on adolescent student engagement published during 2010–2020. A total of 104 studies of 104,304 adolescents met inclusion criteria. Studies were mainly conducted in North America (43%) or Europe (34%). Over half studied engagement across one or more years. Most studies (93%) focused on antecedents of engagement rather than outcomes of engagement (38%). Data were commonly collected usi…
Power, agency and children’s time use in rural Sierra Leone
Children’s time allocation plays an important role in their well-being, education and future chances in life. This paper examines children’s time use in rural Sierra Leone in the context of dynamics of power. It analyses the ways in which children co-construct their patterns of time use and create their own temporal spaces within the boundaries of existing expectations and norms. Drawing on rich qualitative data we argue that children’s routines …
Teacher Attitudes Towards the Representation of Homosexuality in Film and Television
Becoming 'brilliant
This paper explores the generationing of education and development in five villages in Northern Sierra Leone. Understood as 'fields' governed by power dynamics, we consider how the interactive 'fields' of generation, education and development coalesce, re/structuring adult and child 'being' and 'doing'. We explore the tensions that arise between transformation and preservation in the field in light of wider social, cultural and economic change, a…

Emergent Forms of Psychopathology and Their Associations with Homophobic Bullying in Adolescents
Positive Youth Development and Being Bullied in Early Adolescence
In the current study, we investigated the developmental dynamics between positive youth development, being bullied in adolescence, gender, and sociocultural risk factors. Participants were 3,509 males (49%) and 3,656 females (51%) studied longitudinally across the ages of 9, 13, and 17 years in the Growing Up in Ireland study. Using structural equation modeling, we discovered that being bullied in early adolescence was most strongly predicted by …

Emotional and Motivational Engagement at School Transition
Adolescents typically like school less after making age-graded school transitions. Stage-environment fit theory (Eccles & Midgley, 1989) attributes this to a mismatch between developmental needs and new school environments. Our in vivo study provides a basis for future quantitative designs by uncovering the most prevalent stage-environment interactions in adolescents’ descriptions about school. Across one school year, adolescents discussed their …

Memory of Barracks
Some 220,000 German soldiers were stationed and fought in northern Finland during World War II. These troops required huge amounts of supplies that were provided by supply encampments in several locations, including the towns of Oulu and Tornio. In this paper the authors consider how the memory of these German-built sites has shaped post-war urban heritage. They review and challenge the authorized history of the post-war urbanization of the north…
Poverty and Progress in the Age of Improvement
In 1851, the landlord of the Hebridean islands of South Uist and Barra evicted almost 3,000 people from their homes and transported them by means of assisted passage to Canada. This episode of clearance was prompted by a failure of the potato crop and a four-year-long famine, and exposed the dire state of poverty in which the inhabitants of the islands had been forced to live. This paper draws upon six seasons of fieldwork at Milton and Airigh Mh…
Historical Archaeology and the Recent Urban Past
This paper examines the ways in which international historical archaeologists have explored the recent past, in an effort to inform and contribute to contemporary debates about social identity and social inclusion. It is argued that the archaeology of the mundane and everyday can contribute to contemporary culture by creating a sense of community and developing social cohesion. Emphasis is placed upon the archaeology of the recent urban past and …
Mental health improves after transition from comprehensive school to vocational education or employment in England
Underpinned by stage-environment fit and job demands-resources theories, this study examined how adolescents' anxiety, depressive symptoms, and positive functioning developed as they transferred from comprehensive school to further education, employment or training, or became NEET (not in education, employment, or training), at age 16 years, in the longitudinal English national cohort study Next Steps (N = 13,342). Controlling for childhood achie…

Who Do You Want to Be Like? Factors Influencing Early Adolescents’ Selection of Accessible and Inaccessible Role Models
This study investigates the impact of accessible and inaccessible role models on early adolescents’ conceptions of their identities. Accessible role models have regular direct interactions with adolescents, while inaccessible role models like celebrities do not. This investigation was based within the context of a broader educational intervention targeting educational resilience of school students by prompting them to interact with material drawn…
Dirty Old Town? Industrial Archaeology and the Urban Historic Environment
British Industrialisation was accompanied by a huge increase in population and the rapid and unplanned expansion of many towns and cities. New types of workplace and new forms of domestic settlement were created to facilitate the growth of manufacturing activity and new types of housing were built to accommodate workers and their families as the 19th century progressed. This paper offers some personal thoughts on the recording of industrial archa…
Developmental trajectories of emotional disengagement from schoolwork and their longitudinal associations in England
This study identified the varied ways in which emotional disengagement from schoolwork typically developed between 14 and 16 years of age, in the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England. Using growth mixture modelling we found eight main trajectories of (dis)engagement, with four trajectories of either increasing or stable emotional disengagement with schoolwork (41% of the sample). Using propensity score matching to create groups balanced …

Street mirrors, surveillance, and urban communities in early modern Finland
This article discusses street mirrors or 'gossip mirrors', in terms of urban social relations and surveillance. Street mirrors were introduced to coastal towns in Sweden and Finland in the 18th and early 19th centuries and may still be found in well-preserved towns with historic wooden centres. The authors argue that the introduction of monitoring and spying devices, such as street mirrors, occurred in the 18th century due to increased urban popu…

Cowboys and Bohemians
In this paper we examine a prominent but little studied aspect of everyday life in Central Europe, the Czech tramping movement. We aim to show how workers and students from Czech industrial towns and cities created and sustained imaginary rural spaces and flamboyant alternative personas. In some cases these shared fantasy worlds were understood to be a simple leisure pursuit. In other instances tramping activity was a form of resistance and provi…
Engaging with money in a northern periphery of early modern Europe
While contextual and interpretive approaches to money have recently emerged in archaeology, coins have attracted little serious attention in the post-medieval archaeology of the western world. The relative neglect of coins as archaeological finds probably derives from an (implicit) assumption that the function and meaning of coins is readily apparent. A close study of coin finds, however, combined with various sources of contextual data, can prov…

Historical archaeology and industrialisation
INTRODUCTION Britain was the first industrial nation. The impact of this early phase of industrialisation was far reaching and laid the foundations for the emergence of modern consumer society. Although recent scholarship has suggested that the origins of many modern industrial processes may lie in the medieval or early post-medieval period, the clustering of technological innovations that occurred in Britain between the mid-eighteenth and mid-ni…

Archaeological Investigations at the Upper Chapel, Norfolk Street, Sheffield, UK
Sheffield, in the north of England, grew rapidly in the 19th century and gained an international reputation for its cutlery, tableware, and steel products. The material legacy of this age of industrialisation is extensive, and archaeological work in the modern city over the last 20 years has, for the most part, focused on the above and below ground industrial archaeology relating to metals trades' production sites spanning the 19th and 20th centu…
