Announcing my new book with PalgraveChildren and Media Outside the Home: Playing and Learning in After-School CareDrawing on extensive ethnographic research in after-school care services and engaging with contemporary media studies, Children and Media Outside the Home demonstrates how children's media practices are contoured by the environments in which they occur and highlights the differences across the spaces of home, classroom and childcare settings. Findings demonstrate that children's media use in after school care is social, collaborative, time-limited and peer-regulated. Chapters include closer looks at The Place of Media in Children's Leisure, TV and Video in after-school care, Videogames and Internet Use, and Making Media.
