OverviewExamining context-specific conditions in which girls live, learn, work, play, and organize deepens the understanding of place-making practices of girls and young women worldwide. Focusing on place across health, literary and historical studies, art history, communications, media studies, sociology, and education allows for investigations of how girlhood is positioned in relation to interdisciplinary and transnational research methodologies, media environments, geographic locations, history, and social spaces. This book offers a comprehensive reading on how girlhood scholars construct and deploy research frameworks that directly engage girls in the research process.

Table of ContentsReviewsMuch of the literature in the field can fall into romanticizing girls; essentialist notions of girls based on age-as-fact, race, geography, or socioeconomics; or theoretical constructs that mirror popular cultural conceptions rather than challenging them. This text avoids these traps. The chapters take up a significant social and political consideration in the lives and subjectivities of girls and the construction of ideas of girls. * Susan Talburt, Georgia State University A fascinating collection of truly creative essays... convincingly demonstrates how integral and energizing 'place-making' is to girls' everyday lives, identities, activism, and scholarship... By inspiring new avenues of scholarly investigation, [this book] can potentially reshape the field of Girls Studies. * Miriam Forman-Brunell, University of Missouri, Kansas City Author InformationClaudia Mitchell is a James McGill Professor in the Faculty of Education at McGill University and an Honorary Professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
