Professor Claudia Mitchell and April Mandrona have co-edited a new publication, Visual Encounters in the Study of Rural Childhoods听(Rutgers University Press). The publication features a foreword by Relebohile Moletsane, JL Dube Chair in Rural Education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa,听and contributions from 22 authors.

Visual Encounters in the Study of Rural Childhoods听brings together visual studies and childhood studies to explore images of childhood in the study of rurality and rural life. The volume highlights how听the voices of children themselves remain central to investigations of rural childhoods. Contributions look at representations and experiences of rural childhoods from both the Global North and Global South (including U.S., Canada, Haiti, India, Sweden, Slovenia, South Africa, Russia, Timor-Leste, and Colombia) and considers visuals ranging from picture books to cell phone video and听television.听

鈥淰isual Encounters in the Study of Rural Childhoods听is a welcome addition on many fronts," wrote author Pamela Riney-Kehrberg in a recent review. "It tackles rural childhood in many locations around the world, both Global North and Global South, and听it does so by means of听studying the visual.听Instead of taking images of carefree rural childhoods at face value, the authors delve into their hidden meanings.听What are we really seeing in these visions and versions of childhood?听This is recommended reading for scholars in many fields:听childhood studies, rural history, history of gender and sexuality, and so many others.鈥�
