Emily W. Kane is Professor of Sociology and a member of the
Program in Women and Gender Studies at Bates College, USA.
Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood explores gender and
sexuality in children's lives, from early childhood through adolescence,
bringing together key inter-disciplinary perspectives. Kane explores how
childhood gender and sexuality are constructed, resisted, and refined within
children's peer cultures, within social institutions like the family, education,
and media and the role the state holds in structuring children's lives -
defining their rights and opportunities through gender and sexuality-related
policies and programs.
Examples of research, interviews, activities, key points and guidance on
further reading encourage the reader to actively engage with the material and to
develop a critical relationship with the content.
Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood is essential for those studying childhood at undergraduate and graduate level and of great
interest to those working with children in any field.
