Empowering children by transforming norms

This online course provides an opportunity for early-career Ph.D. students to develop an in-depth understanding of the critical theory of childism.

 

Organized by the Childism Institute and key scholars in childist research, it explores what it means to empower children by transforming norms and structures in societies. The three central modules examine the central concept of childism, how it relates to other critical theories such as feminism and decolonialism, and what it might look like in practical research and activism.

​

This free course provides students multiple chances to interact with established scholars from around the world, network with other doctoral students in a diversity of academic programs, and develop new perspectives on their own research projects. No prior experience in childism is required.
