ABSTRACT
In recent years, the theme of childhoods, children and the city have been the focus of research, debates, and social movements, promoting a social and academic agenda that defends recognizing children as subjects and their right to cities. In this context, understanding how this theme has become dynamic in the educational field, from the elaboration of research problems to the production of data for further analysis becomes relevant to strengthening this field of investigation, and for identifying possible weaknesses and gaps in the investigative panorama. Therefore, the objective of this study is to present the results of a meta-research carried out based on the analysis of ten studies at the doctoral level in the field of education which focused on the theme of childhoods/children and the city, indicating trends and challenges that are woven, especially in terms of their objectives (problematics) and their epistemic-methodological approaches.
