Markus Bohlmann is Professor of English at Seneca College, Toronto. He is co-editor of Monstrous Children and Childish Monsters: Essays on Cinema’s Holy Terrors (McFarland, 2015) and Misfits: Children with a Twist (Lexington Books, 2017). Anna Hickey-Moody is the inaugural Professor of Intersectional Humanities in the Arts and Humanities Research Institute at Maynooth University. Her work explores intersecting angles of disadvantage through philosophical and creative approaches. She came to Maynooth to develop interdisciplinary research culture exploring intersectionality across the humanities. Prior to joining Maynooth, Anna was Professor of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne where she held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship called Interfaith Childhoods. For this large research project, Anna created a unique, responsive research design that allowed her to collaborate with hard-to-reach communities through building strong relationships with children through artmaking. She worked with schools, communities and religious organisations across Australia and the UK to collect and share stories of faith told by diverse religious and secular people. This method offered a way of developing public understandings of what belonging feels like in superdiverse, multicultural cities. You can read what the research participants had to say in the book Faith stories: sustaining meaning and community in troubling times (MUP, 2023). Anna also led the Creative Research in Methods and Practice (CRiMP) Lab and you can read the lab’s work in a collection coming out with Edinburgh University Press in 2024. This feminist research laboratory supported a community of queer and gender-diverse researchers working at the intersection of creative practice as a research method, visual sociology and creative anthropology at RMIT. Before joining RMIT University, Anna was Associate Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney. She has also held positions at Goldsmiths, London and Monash University, Melbourne. Anna is a very experienced PhD supervisor and is available to supervise projects exploring religion, disability, sexuality, gender, race, youth. She has published widely on gender, sexuality, disability, religion and race and racism as they shape young lives.

This timely new book frees the affective play of childhood from the conceptual persona of the child, reminding readers that the age of childhood never passes. Herein lies a strategy, reiterated on every page, for the invention of new social and political worlds grounded in the praxis of the becoming-child.
