Research subject Children and Young People’s Places and Movement

Here, inputs from different starting points - for example practical, theoretical, methodological or empirical - are used to study the places of children and young people. It can be physical places, digital places or imaginary and imagined places.

How children and young people move between places depends on the availability of resources and time and mobility may be desirable or undesirable. Children's and young people's places are changeable and are part of a context of other places. The places accommodate different offers and challenges. Children's and young people's places can be created for or by children, often both.

The area examines how relationships between children and young people and places are created and changed and is part of the conditions that regulate and enable children's and young people's lives. Children and young people are thus studied both as actors with the opportunity to influence and as dependent on the structures and contexts in which they find themselves.
