BACKGROUNDPia Christensen is a Professor of Anthropology and Childhood Studies and Director of Research at the Institute of Education. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research with children and young people in families, schools and local communities in Denmark and England. Her research includes innovative mixed-methods research into children's mobility in the city. Her theoretical interests focus on how children's agency is constituted in their everyday lives, and how concepts of life course can be applied to the study of children. She has written about methodological and ethical questions in research with children. She has published widely on children's understanding and agency in health, learning, engagement with risk, food, time and space. Her main publications include Research with Children: Perspectives and Practices (second edition 2008) and Children in the City: home, neighbourhood and community (2003). |
