Each of the essays in this collection considers what lies beyond the limiting discourses of childhood innocence. Instead of focusing on how children “grow up,” as has been the focus of developmental science for over a century, we ask what it might mean for discourses of childhood to finally “grow out” of childhood innocence? The authors featured in this volume explore this question through critical approaches that actively refuse the limits of normative and normalizing conceptions of the child by surfacing and centering complex, multiplicitous configurations of childhood. Together, these perspectives challenge existing discourses and social practices to reveal how power operates in and through the child and its uses.

Julie C. Garlen is the director of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies and a professor of childhood and youth studies at Carleton University. Neil T. Ramjewan is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Toronto's, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in the department of curriculum and pedagogy.
