Philosophy and Child Poverty
This book offers a broad and diverse reflection of the ways in which child poverty could be conceptualised, and the ways in which it is intertwined with childhood as a specific social condition. Furthermore, the responsibilities towards children and the possible mechanisms required for dealing with this condition will be analysed and clarified. This is the first volume on philosophy and child poverty. Despite the increasing number of publications on poverty, the particular phenomenon of poverty during childhood has not received much philosophical attention. This is surprising, given the severity and depth of child poverty around the globe. This volume brings together various philosophical approaches and how they understand and tackle child poverty. This is an important addition to the philosophical literature, which is also of wider interest to scholars working in the social sciences and with an interest in child poverty.
Youth, Inequality and Social Change in the Global South
This book gathers international and interdisciplinary work on youth studies from the Global South, exploring issues such as continuity and change in youth transitions from education to work; contemporary debates on the impact of mobility, marginalization and violence on young lives; how digital technologies shape youth experiences; and how different institutions, cultures and structures generate a diversity of experiences of what it means to be young. The book is divided into four broad thematic sections: (a) Education, work and social structure; (b) Identity and belonging; (c) Place, mobilities and marginalization; and (d) Power, social conflict and new forms of political participation of youth.
Speaking Youth to Power
This book examines the methods and approaches currently being taken by the global community of youth in influencing environmental policymakers of the United Nations. It is divided into two sections: The Groundswell Approach, exploring the use of social media and mass gatherings aimed at raising public awareness of the issue of climate change; and The Direct Approach, a participatory methodology that encourages collaboration directly with the policymaker and youth in the discussions and creation of progressive climate policy for the world. The book also delivers a detailed analysis of the United Nations’ only database of youth-produced documentary films related to climate change research, impacts, and proposed solutions: the Youth Climate Report, arguing that film is a powerful and effective communications tool for the policymaker. The book proposes two frameworks and explores their in-field applications for successful youth climate activism.
Law, Religion and Leadership in Africa
In Africa, some heads of state sometimes prefer to take their oath on the Bible or the Quran rather than on an ancestral law or a fearsome fetish capable of causing misery in the event of a violation. Thus, in order to build credible institutions that can guarantee socio-political and economic stability, it is desirable to resort to certain ancestral practices, in particular strict respect for customs. At this level of our reflection, it seems useless for Africans to reinvent the wheel; rather, we must look in the rearview mirror in order to exalt the pre-colonial instruments capable of unravelling the invisible mystery of these societies. In this same dynamic, the ancestral law, because of ...
Health and Education Interdependence
This book explores the interdependence of health and education, and how optimising this important relationship provides the foundation for achieving improved life outcomes from birth into adulthood. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, it draws on bio-medical, epidemiological, educational, psychological and economic evidence to demonstrate the benefits of the reflexive, positive associations between good health and educational attainment over the life course. In this, it offers readers insights into the complex nature of the nexus between health and education and how this relationship influences development. Health and Education Interdependence: Thriving from Birth to Adulthood is essential reading for education and health researchers and policymakers, teachers and public health and health promotion practitioners, as well as students studying in these fields.

Rethinking Care in Education
This book examines some of the most pressing challenges facing care, equity, and inclusion in education in the age of globalising neoliberal capitalism. Drawing on empirical data collected using a case study of a government secondary school in a low socio-economic status suburb in Melbourne, Australia, this book interrogates the impacts of dominant performative policies and practices on students who have more complex needs, or are from socio-economically marginalised backgrounds. It reviews these policies and practices, which are increasingly driven by the discourses of learning achievement and outcomes measured via high-stakes testing. This book examines how these developments have created (in)visible geographies of exclusion for marginalised students in mainstream schools. It uses notions of belonging, ethics of care and emotional labour as theoretical tools to provide critical analyses of the practices that differentiate and divide among students. This book’s narrative approach is built around recounting ‘deep stories’ of the participants, their dilemmas and predicaments; it synthesises intimate narrative accounts with research-informed analysis and discussions.
