  • Play, plastics, and things that are in the world
    Oct 3 2022

    Max and Sarah chat about plastics in play environments, sustainability, aesthetics, values and how we make sense of the world with deviations into gun and superhero play and a dip into gender.

    We talk about a microblog by the commonworlds collective: "How does intensifying plastics’ presence in the classroom invite children to practice curiosity and disrupt indifference?" which you can access here: http://commonworlds.net/how-does-intensifying-plastics-presence-in-the-classroom-invite-children-to-practice-curiosity-and-disrupt-indifference/

  • The first chat – No Ball Games
    Oct 3 2022

    You’ve made it to our third podcast – so time to share our first conversation - we chat about our reaction to the film No ball games: life and play through the eyes of children across the UK – shot with children across in the UK in Wales in 2019 (pre-Covid). Rides in shopping trolleys, farting, working out what working class means, I spy, and British Bulldogs.
