The focus of this eighth volume of the Play & Culture Studies series is on how play takes many forms as it cuts across species, ages, and cultures. The articles in this volume present current theoretical and empirical research on play and culture from a variety of disciplines including psychology, education, animal studies, and sociology. Applications to practice and policy implications are presented as well. Volume 8 continues the tradition of the Play & Culture series by presenting a view of play that is broad in scope both in terms of the subjects of study and the ways in which researchers approach the study of these diverse forms of play.
David Kuschner is an associate professor of early childhood education at the University of Cincinnati. His research interests include children's play, constructivism, and the history and philosophy of early childhood education. He is co-author (with George Forman) of The Child's Construction of Knowledge: Piaget for Teaching Children.
