This volume discusses issues such as the place of institutional and residential care, children as the subjects of academic research, and the voice of children and youth in the justice system, particularly that of Indigenous youth. Each chapter explores and challenges the notion that only adults can understand and determine the needs of young people by providing examples of children and youth who already participate in complex environments and by arguing for an acknowledgment of their rights and agency in each circumstance. By dismantling the Western world's romantic notion of childhood innocence, the authors critically explore the understandings of young people as agents in their own worlds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Voula Marinos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771993383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771993388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Athabasca University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Voula Marinos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077253165311,"sku":"9781771993388","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e104a560-1879-4e9e-bb57-bf8895c77b15.jpg?v=1685469010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-agency-in-children-and-voula-marinos-9781771993388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
