Geographies of children and young people is a rapidly emerging sub-discipline within human geography. There is now a critical mass of established academic work, key names within academia, growing numbers of graduate students and expanding numbers of university level taught courses. There are also professional training programmes at national scales and in international contexts that work specifically with children and young people. In addition to a productive journal of Children's Geographies, there's a range of monographs, textbooks and edited collections focusing on children and young people published by all the major academic presses then there is a substantive body of work on younger people within human geography and active authors and researchers working within international contexts to warrant a specific Major Reference Work on children's and young people's geographies. The volumes and sections are structured by themes, which then reflect the broader geographical locations of the research

We gradually notice a shift from the partially superseded micro approach to accessibility (or barrier free design) to the new macro approach in Design for All or Universal Design. This UD concept gradually acquires global significance in the social, in the academic, and in the political field. Strong motivating factors for the new design paradigm are the challenge of an ageing population in Europe and in other parts of the world, and the crucial role of physical accessibility in securing Human Rights. In an interview with Professor Hubert Froyen, this shift will be analyzed from his point of view and his built-up experience. Professor Froyen analyzes the opportunity for moving beyond the conceptual commitment to Universal Design and he shares a strategy for an overall methodological approach to training of designers and to user / expert engagement on a large scale.

Sámi law is the law of the Indigenous Sámi people. The territory where Sámi have historically lived is called Sápmi and encompasses parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This article builds on the premise that Sámi law exists in Sápmi, in parallel with national laws. However, in terms of methodology and content, the scope of research on Sámi law compared to research about Indigenous law in Canada is limited. This article first describes an Indigenous law research methodology which approaches stories as a source of Indigenous law. The methodology was developed in Canada and applied to the Canadian Access to Justice and Reconciliation Project. The article then discusses this research methodology in relation to Sámi law.
