Announcing my new book with Palgrave Children and Media Outside the Home: Playing and Learning in After-School Care Drawing on extensive ethnographic research and engaging with contemporary studies, Children and Media Outside the Home demonstrates how children's media practices are contoured by the environments in which they occur and highlights the differences across the spaces of home, classroom and childcare settings. Chapters include closer looks at The Place of Media in Children's Leisure, TV and Video in after-school care, Videogames and Internet Use, and Making Media.
