[First Paragraph]
This edited volume is a compilation of papers presented at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Jean Piaget Society. The inclusive chapters reflect the breadth and depth of play research and the researchers themselves. As a topic of scholarly inquiry, the study of play has been pursued through an interdisciplinary lens and different theoretical frameworks. This volume reflects that diversity. |
