CHILDHOOD - 30th Anniversary Webinars

As we mark the 30th anniversary of Childhood: A Journal of Global Child Research, we invite you to join us for the upcoming two webinars where we explore key topics related to our field of childhood studies.

Webinar #1: Research ethics in childhood research includes four eminent childhood researchers who will reflect on today’s key ethical challenges: how to navigate the tension between situated ethics prevalent in many childhood research and institutionalized approaches to research through protocols and regulations; how to recognize children’s contribution in research in a more and more pervasive digital environment that asks for stronger protection of children’s privacy; and how to create more space for ethical research that takes into account the social, cultural and structural realities and challenges that researchers encounter in the process of research.

 Convening Editors: Karl Hanson and Spyros Spyrou
