Play: A Polyphony of Research, Theories, and Issues

By Lynn E. Cohen and Sandra Waite-Stupiansky

Book Overview

This volume addresses the study of play from an interdisciplinary cadre of scholars in the fields of anthropology, education, psychology, linguistics, and history. In this time of globalization, hyper-capitalism, and discourses that disqualify children's play, we invite the reader to participate in diverse ways of thinking about play and pedagogy.
