Over the last year our Geographies of Children, Youth and Families Research Group (GCYFRG) have been profiling researchers active in their part of the discipline, through their Researcher in the Spotlight series. The series highlights the exciting work being done in the geographies of children, youth and families. The full series is available on the GCYFRG website, or you can browse some of the most recent posts on Twitter using the links below.
