Finally, a new volume on political philosophy and children that I co-edited is out with Springer. It is loosley based on a workshop I co-convened in Manchester. To be honest, my co-editors did most of the work for this book to happen. As the title suggests the chapters in this book are engaged with the moral, legal and political status of children and childhood, most of them by examining a concrete problem or question in education or politics. This is the table of contents:
