Global Studies of Childhood(ISSN 2043-6106)
"Global Studies of Childhood (GSC) is a peer-reviewed,
internationally focused, online research journal. The journal provides
an opportunity for researchers, university and college students and
professionals who are interested in issues associated with childhood in
education, family, and community contexts from a global perspective to
present, share and discuss their work. GSC aims to present opportunities
for scholars and emerging researchers to interrogate the ways in which
globalization and new global perspectives impact on children’s life
experiences.
Global Studies of Childhood is a space for research and discussion about issues that pertain to children in a world context, and in contemporary times the impact of global imperatives on the lives of children has been significant. Experiences of childhood that take place within the situated spaces of geographic locales and culturally specific frames of reference are subject to global forces that complicate, disrupt and reconfigure the meanings associated with childhood/s on the local and global stage.

GSC is therefore interested in issues that pertain to childhood, here broadly conceived, and the challenges these pose to children’s lives and futures in an increasingly complex world. Issues around what constitutes childhood are therefore fundamental to discussions, as are ways in which we need to ensure that all children have basic human rights and are protected from exploitation.
