Establishing Geographies of Children and Young People
暫譯: 建立兒童與青少年的地理學

兒童與青少年的地理學是人文地理學中最新的子學科之一。它迅速發展到一個臨界質量的水平，包括已建立的學術研究、學術界的關鍵人物、日益增長的研究生人數、擴展的本科教學課程，以及專注於年輕人的國內和國際培訓計劃。除了《Children's Geographies》期刊外，所有主要的學術出版社都已出版了專著、教科書和編輯合集，專注於兒童和青少年。然而，關於兒童和青少年地理學的最大國際學術作品集現在可以通過Springer的主要參考作品《Geographies of Children and Young People》獲得。這本編輯合集包含十二卷，幾乎有300章。這些卷和部分是按主題結構化的，反映了更廣泛的地理辯論、地理多樣性以及24位編輯和章節貢獻者的學術專長。
