Childhood and Biopolitics: Climate Change, Life Processes and Human Futures

by Nicholas Lee

Book Overview

Will the future be a climate disaster? Will biotechnologies bring huge improvements to lifespan? Predictions vary, but children's status as human embodiments of the future puts them at the centre of attempts to shape the world and the discipline of childhood studies can therefore make a critical and creative contribution to future-making.
