Working with Young Children in MuseumsWeaving Theory and Practice\nAuthor(s): Abigail Hackett, Rachel Holmes, Christina MacRae\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138352964, 978-1138352964\nSynopsis\nWorking with Young Children in Museums makes a major contribution to the small body of extant research on young children in museums, galleries and heritage sites. \n\nBridging theory and practice, the book introduces theoretical concepts in a clear and concise manner, whilst also providing inspirational insights into everyday programming in museums. Structured around three key themes, this volume seeks to diverge from the dominant socio-cultural learning models that are generally employed in the museum learning literature. It introduces a body of theories that have variously been called new materialist, spatial, posthuman and Deleuzian; theories which enable a focus on the body, movement and place and which have not yet.
