Studying childhoods in Latin America: Ideas and debates for an emerging field

Abstract:

The study of childhood has been consolidated in recent years in Latin America as an autonomous and emerging field of study. As a point of departure from the thematic dossier Childhoods in America: diversities in tension, we aim to outline key studies that, from history, anthropology and education, have contributed to this renewed interest in childhoods in the region. In the article, we reconstruct the emerging lines and conclude with proposals for a research agenda for/with/on childhoods in and from Latin America.
