Childhood Studies is a dynamic and still‐growing subject, bringing a child‐focused, rights‐based and (usually) constructionist perspective to children's lives. Its early days were also marked by wariness of, even hostility to, developmental psychology. Yet it is increasingly recognised that some mainstream developmental psychology is opening itself to more contextualised understandings of children and childhoods, and that other psychologies offer further opportunities for dialogue between disciplines. We aim to explore these opportunities, to consider what (and whether) these fields of study can learn from one another and how this might enrich and further challenge research and practice.

儿童研究和儿童心理学：对话中的纪律？

儿童研究是一门充满活力且仍在不断发展的学科，它为儿童的生活带来了以儿童为中心、基于权利和（通常）建构主义的观点。它的早期也以对发展心理学的谨慎甚至敌意为特征。然而，人们越来越认识到，一些主流发展心理学正在对儿童和童年的更多情境化理解开放，而其他心理学为学科之间的对话提供了进一步的机会。我们旨在探索这些机会，考虑这些研究领域可以（以及是否）相互学习，以及这将如何丰富和进一步挑战研究和实践。
