The purpose of the seminar series is to open a space for critical, cross-disciplinary discussion of the ways in which children and youth are represented in various kinds of writing, performance and visual forms, and of the theoretical and ethical assumptions that underpin different representations. If there is sufficient interest from seminar participants, we will consider possibilities for compiling an edited volume or special issue of the papers presented.
Seminars are scheduled for Mondays, from 11h30 to 13h30 (with the exception of the first one).
Venue: Please see each individual entry below.
To attend, us in advance, please.
