Brief description
This course builds on the work covered in the semester one course, Working with Play. Where that course is mainly concerned with academic theorizing and research on children and play, this course focuses on play in practical settings. The course is divided into three parts. In the first and second parts, we will consider how educationists and those who work with children with problems of various kinds have incorporated play into their professional practice. In the third part of the course we will consider children's own play practices and children's culture in practice.
