Abstract

Designing Modern Childhoods is a collection of fifteen illustrated essays that draw from a vast variety of sources, accompanied by a foreword by Paula S. Fass and an epilogue by social and cultural historian John R. Gillis. Marta Gutman is an associate professor in the School of Architecture, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture at the City College of New York, and Ning de Conninck-Smith is an associate professor in the Department of Educational Sociology at the School of Education at Aarhus University in Denmark. The book is partly a result of an international, multidisciplinary conference organized by the two at the University of California, Berkeley in 2002 and assembles contributions from architectural historians, social historians, social scientists, and architects.
