CHILDHOOD AND SOCIETY by Nick Lee

CHILDHOOD AND SOCIETY by Nick Lee

Adulthood is no longer lived as a state of personal completion. Careers, intimate relationships, even identities, are increasingly provisional. Does this mean that there is no significant difference between adults and children? This book examines these issues through assessments of theories of childhood in a globalizing and mediated social world.

"Nick Lee has written an accessible book, which sets out key features of the new sociology of childhood and at the same time, advances a novel and critical theoretical lineI would recommend this text to all scholars with an interest in children and childhood". - Michael Wyness

Nick Lee is a lecturer in sociology at the University of Keele. His doctorate in psychology was based on studies of the UK child protection system, as was his masters degree in social research. He has published numerous articles on childhood and on social theory.
