MSU Series on Children, Youth and Families – serie

Grounded in both research and practice, Adolescent Parenthood and Education examines five alternative education models and offers practical suggestions for their implementation. This unique book presents the perspectives of teen mothers, their families and friends, service providers, administrators, and policy makers, cutting across disciplinary lines and illuminating the complex needs of young parents.

Making Invisible Latino Adolescents Visible explores both economic and social factors that hinder the progress of Latino youth in the United States.

This volume is a unique collection of original pieces chronicling diverse national examples of university-community partnerships.

This collection of essays by leading scholars in the field of childhood development focus on the critical issues and questions that need to be addressed at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Topics covered include the ecology of fetal development, birth and the newborn period, family ecology and infant development, infant care settings, gender influences on caregiving, culture, violence, poverty, substance abuse, social support, maternal age, risk and protective factors, the impact of legal and public policy, and historical, and future ecologies of infant development

Adolescence is a journey to adulthood. This book seeks to examine the ways in which young people navigate through this period of their lives, and the consequences their efforts have on their well-being and problem behaviours. In twelve chapters, European researchers will conceptualize, present data and discuss the following: 1) the explorations and commitments adolescents construct as tools with which to direct their lives across the diversity of pathways to adulthood 2) the kinds of identities and self-concepts they develop during this process 3) the role of significant others, such as parents and peers, play in this navigation through adolescence.

First published in 1998. Adolescent development and well-being are both affected by socio-political change, political violence, immigrant status and various types of cultural, social and institutional diversity. These are realities faced by many adolescents in Europe today. This book examines these circumstances, and also the impact of recent socio-political changes in Eastern Europe and conflicts in Northern Ireland. Adolescent identities are looked at, as well as the effects of prejudice towards immigrant youths from their host societies.

For this volume, Professors McKinney, Schiamberg, and Shelton assembled contributors to write about something that is written about far too infrequently: How to present scientific research on adolescent development in ways students find interesting, believable, relevant, and worth remembering when the term is over. Graduate education in adolescent development almost always guarantees adequate training in research and theory, but training in creative pedagogy is more often than not left to chance. Those of us who teach adolescence regularly know that colleagues all over the world use innovative approaches to take advantage of the real-world relevance of the material, but most of these approaches remain insiders’ tricks of the trade. Teaching About Adolescence is, to my knowledge, the first volume that describes and explains how—and, more importantly, why—the best teachers of adolescence do what they do. It is a much needed book. But this book is much more than a collection of recipes for interesting class exercises or term projects. First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
