Book excerpt: "The discussion in this book take into account the need for not only focusing on individual perspectives and practices but also examining the social structures that impact on children's rights. It provides a nuanced discussion in relation to the academic debates in the field, but also extends its scope by providing a powerful illustration of how collaboration between academics and practitioners can advance knowledge and impact on practices." Dr Nidhi Singal, University of Cambridge. International Perspectives on Practice and Research into Children's Rights is intended as a facilitator of cross-border conversations between practitioners, researchers and policy-makers working in the broader field of education and children's rights. The volume is co-edited by Dr Gabriela Martinez Sainz (Centre for Human Rights Studies) and Dr Sonia Ilie (University of Cambridge). It brings together contributions that provide relevant examples of research and practices combining critical and theoretical explorations and empirical evidence about children's rights, addressing issues such as access to education, inequality, violence, corporal punishment and child participation.
