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, and the negotiation of the generational contract in contexts of high risk and inter-dependency
