ABSTRACT

This editorial argues, that while several children’s geographers and other childhood researchers have already succeed to draw on research about children’s lives and the spatiality of childhood in order to speak to broader debates, much more could be done. Hereafter, the notion of childhood prism research is briefly explained, followed by a presentation of the aim of a special issue on ‘Society and social changes through the prism of childhood’, namely to bring the field one step further towards significant and distinct contributions to the wider scholarly field. Finally, the editorial presents each of the articles in the special issue, explaining their contribution to this mission.
