Also join us for a unique lecture with Professor John Wall (Rutgers University) Keynote Talk | Childism, Children’s Rights and the Challenge of Children’s Empowerment | Talbot Rice Gallery
This talk introduces the concept of childism. Childism has emerged in academic and social movements in the past decade as a critical theory akin to feminism, anti-racism, and decolonialism. What is distinct about childism is that it focuses on the specific empowerment of children as children.
