Abstract
This article is the editorial to the special issue entitled: ‘Children's and young people's digital geographies’ published in Digital Geography and Society.
Emerging in the 1980s, what is now commonly referred to as 'digital geographies' has since evolved into a vibrant and multifaceted area of research. Simultaneously, children's geographies and young people's geographies have established a rich tradition of critically exploring agential and embodied experiences of children and young people, particularly in relation to socio-material spaces. Despite the extensive scholarship in these diverse areas, research at the intersection of digital technologies and children's and young people's lives remains relatively underexplored—though interest in this topic has been growing rapidly since the mid-2010s. Recognising this gap, we were inspired to curate this special issue to bring together scholars examining the entanglements between the socio-material and digital realms in the lives of children and young people, whether through their chosen methodologies or the focus of their research.
