Jen Jack Gieseking and William Mangold, with Cindi Katz, Setha Low, and Susan Saegert have put together an incredible resource that brings together writing from various fields that examines how people inhabit and enliven space. They graciously invited me to contribute a Further Recommended Readings List on Children and Young People’s Participation in Political Spaces. Take a look at my list, and take a tour around the site for the PPS Reader. Introductions to each of the sections are open source and a discount flyer for the Reader will only be up for a limited time!
