Rethinking ‘safe spaces’ in children’s geographies

Authors: Djohari, N., Pyndiah, G. and Arnone, A.

Journal: Children's Geographies

Volume: 16

Issue: 4

Pages: 351-355

DOI: 10.1080/14733285.2018.1487032

Abstract:

In this editorial, we provide a preliminary definition of ‘safe spaces’ before exploring how the collected authors have taken a fresh approach to understanding ‘safe spaces’ though a geographical lens. Until now, the material ‘location’ of safe spaces have remained under theorised, but by turning attention to how children and young people co-produce and bring safe spaces into being through their situated practices, this Special Issue provides rich ground for re-evaluating why places ‘matter’ in children’s lives. This editorial maps out those common threads that are uncovered across a diverse collection that spans playful protest in Johannesburg, family food struggles in Warsaw, to the theatrical parodies of second generation Somali youth in London.
