Dear All,
A gentle reminder that the ERC Connectors Study team are holding our closing event in London on Jan 11th at Amnesty International UK in Shoreditch. More details here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-childhood-publics-erc-connectors-study-closing-event-tickets-52206673566> and event description below. The event will be relevant to students and colleagues in childhood studies, as well as the anthropology, sociology and history of childhood especially those with an interest in children’s agency, children’s participation, cultures of childhood and children’s visual cultures. Our methodological discussions will be of interest to those involved in or thinking about doing multimodal ethnography with children and young people in particular. Finally, discussions on publics creating methodologies will touch on the boundaries between ethnography and cultural work, and the challenges and possibilities of transgressing those boundaries. More info here<https://connectorsstudy.com/on-transitions/>. Please feel free to circulate widely. There are still places available for attending the event.
All the best,
The Connectors Study team
Exploring childhood publics
How do children encounter, experience and engage with public life and how might we recognise, describe and communicate such encounters, experiences and engagements? Over the past five years the ERC Connectors Study (2014-2019)<https://childhoodpublics.org/> has been engaging with this question to better understand the relationship between childhood and public life working with a diverse group of younger children (aged 6-8 years) in three cities (Athens, Hyderabad, London) in order to reconceptualise meanings and practices of children’s participation.
This closing event will share theoretical and methodological advances from the study, as well as reflect on the study’s publics creating methodologies and the social life of a large international, European funded research project. We will also be launching the first-ever Children’s Photography Archive in the afternoon with a wine reception.
Join the team, guest speakers and discussants to celebrate five years of engaging critically, creatively and experimentally with childhood, public life, and politics.
The event is free and open to the public. Places are limited so please book. If you are eventually not able to attend and know so ahead of time, please cancel your place by emailing [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
The event is funded by the European Research Council (ERC-StG-335514).
