The planet is dying. Our earth’s climate has reached a point where it can no longer regulate itself. Fires, floods, and natural disasters are sweeping countries across the world. What does it mean to be a child citizen in the Anthropocene? Can we teach children a posthuman civics that can care for the more-than-human world? Extending on the concepts of ‘little publics’ and ‘posthuman citizenships’, this book progresses these notions with a view to modelling, and better understanding, posthuman publics and civics. Using experimental methodologies, the authors develop original, robust ways of understanding children's subcultural civic practices founded on care for the more than human.

This series seeks to examine, exemplify and problematise the ways in which childhood and youth are entangled with the Anthropocene. The series is multi-disciplinary – bringing together, drawing on, and exploring various intersections and entanglements between, sociologies of childhood, youth, education, work, wellbeing; children’s and young people’s geographies; feminist and post-feminist theories and methodologies; new materialist and post-human theories and methodologies. It engages with an array of critical theoretical, methodological and empirical challenges and opportunities that emerge when thinking about children, young people and the Anthropocene.
