Beskrivning
Social capital, children and young people is about the relationships and networks - social capital - that children and young people have in and out of school.Social capital has become of increasing interest to policy makers but there has been little evidence of how it operates in practice. In this unique collection, the social capital of children and young people, and in one case parents and teachers, is explored in a wide range of formal and informal settings.The contributors to the book, who include academic researchers and educational professionals, provide in-depth accounts of social capital being developed and used by children and young people. They offer critical reflections on the significance of social capital and on the experiences of researching the social capital of sometimes vulnerable people.This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with how children and young people get along, get by and get on.

Recensioner i media

"The research presented in this book provides an engaging and passionate contribution to the debate around issues of social mobility, inclusion and equality... useful to education policy makers and practitioners, as well as those interested in these issues and social capital theory." ARVAC bulletin "This timely book makes a valuable contribution to the critical debate about social capital, while exploring its operation in schools and communities, and raising powerful considerations for policy makers." Jenny Ozga, Oxford University Department of Education "It is heartening to see such careful and honest application of the notion of social capital to educational issues. This book makes important Scottish evidence available to a wider audience." Professor Tom Schuller, Director, Longview
