About the event
The Critical Childhood(s) conference is an event jointly organised by the European Children’s Rights Unit (ECRU) at the University of Liverpool, Tema Barn at Linköping University, the Critical Children’s Rights Research Network (CCRR), and supported by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
The European Children’s Rights Unit (ECRU) at the University of Liverpool will host an interdisciplinary conference showcasing some of the most cutting-edge work in contemporary critical childhood and children’s rights scholarship, marking the centenary of the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1924). It aims to look back, critically, at what has been gained in the hundred years since this first international declaration, and to look forward towards the priority issues that affect children’s rights at present, and in the future.
Critical Childhood(s) will bring together scholars working at the vanguard of childhood and children’s rights research, particularly those that work beyond Western models, make use of novel methodologies, study underexplored areas, and provide original theoretical frameworks to the study of childhood and children’s rights. It provides an invaluable opportunity for sharing interdisciplinary knowledge among the arts, humanities and social sciences in the domain of childhood and children’s rights.
