This book proposes a reinvigoration of geographical education by examining the relationships and intersections between children, education and geography. With a particular focus on children's geographies and geographies of education, it draws upon cutting-edge research and debate to consider how geographical education can be enhanced through increased engagement with these fields. Ultimately, this book is written for children and young people, who should be at the heart of all educational thinking. It starts from the position that both the lives of children and young people, and education, are inherently geographical. The focus is on the ways in which the rich and diverse intersections between children, education and geography can enrich research and work with, and for, children and young people. Chapters in this book consider how in/justices are (re)produced through education and explore how ideas and insights generated by intersectional thinking in, and across, geography and education can be used to support and empower children and young children in both education and everyday life. Essentially, this is a book of opportunities, a chance to rethink how engaging with both geography as a discipline, and the experiences and perspectives of children and young people, can contribute to more just tomorrows in education. Outlining potential new directions for geographical education, the book will be of great value to undergraduate and post graduate students interested in geography education and children's geographies, as well as teachers of geography, and those beginning their journeys as teachers.
