“…This interest in how networks of relationships impact on and shape other relationships also includes a growing interest in how intersecting categories such as race, disability, gender, sexuality and class impact on friendship choice and practices among children and young people (e.g. Punch and Vanderbeck, 2018).…”

Drawing on a review of recent international literature, this article argues for the first time that an understanding of, and engagement with, the theory and practice of friendship is essential to working alongside those who have care experience. Drawing on theory from philosophy, psychology and sociology, the care system is explored as a unique and challenging context for making and keeping the reciprocal, caring friendships which research suggests are important for a ‘happy, healthy life’. Our analysis shows how theories of friendship have failed to consider the friendship experiences of those in the care system. We suggest that including these experiences offers new opportunities to develop theory and practice in the field of friendship. We argue that friendship is an essential human need and, as such, should be placed centrally in assessment and intervention work, encouraging social workers to support positive and enduring friendships for the people they work with.

Why have generational orderings been marginalised in the social sciences including childhood studies?

This paper considers why age and generation tend not to be recognised as social variables in the same way that gender, ethnicity and class are mainstreamed within Social Science disciplines. It questions why the concept of the generational order is not always integral to either Childhood Studies or the related sub-disciplines, such as Children's Geographies. It begins from a starting point that Childhood Studies is generally a multi-disciplinary field but seems stuck from moving forward conceptually. The politics of Childhood Studies can result in sub-disciplinary silos rather than working in a more interdisciplinary way. The politics of childhood in society have progressed in terms of children's rights and participation yet the theoretical development of children's agency has been stuck. The paper discusses the lack of extensive empirical investigation of the generational order, suggesting that 'generational orderings' may be a more dynamic way to engage with processes of generationing.
