Expanding horizons: Reimagining local cultures to reflect on global childhoods
Abstract
In this essay I call for a consideration of global childhoods as a means to locate the lifeworlds of children in contemporary times. Any study of childhood is contextualised, and relational, and it is suggested here that with the advent of globalisation, new technologies, and multimodal meaning making, access to cultures globally provides greater insights into the complexities of our own everyday lives. With more information, we will be able to ensure that all children can reach their full potential as capable citizens of the now.
