Exploring Agency in Children and Youth Expressions and Constraints
Edited by Voula Marinos, Shauna Pomerantz, Rebecca Raby, Christine Tardif-Williams, and Dawn Zinga In this critical study, readers are asked to consider the ways in which children and youth are constrained by social, cultural, political, and economic forces and how they overcome the false adult-child dichotomy to exercise their own agency. By dismantling the Western world’s romantic notion of childhood innocence, the authors critically explore understandings of young people as agents in their own worlds. VOULA MARINOS, CHRISTINE TARDIF-WILLIAMS, and SHAUNA POMERANTZ are associate professors, and REBECCA RABY is a professor, all in the Department of Child and Youth Studies at Brock University. DAWN ZINGA is a professor and associate dean in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Graduate Studies and Research, also at Brock University.

Metaphors of Ed Tech is essential reading for anyone involved in education, but particularly those still determining the impact and potential of the unprecedented pivot to online learning in 2020. MARTIN WELLER is professor of educational technology, in the Institute of Educational Technology (IET) at the UK Open University.
