Children and Society Special Issue Launch: Conceptualising and Researching Child and Youth Activism

This webinar celebrated the launch of a new special issue of Children and Society dedicated to conceptualising and researching child and youth activism. This special issue has been co-edited by Laura Wright, Emma Davidson, Kristina Konstantoni, Marlies Kustatscher, Karina Padilla and Kay Tisdall from the University of Edinburgh.  

This publication features 15 fantastic papers by a host of scholars, practitioners and peer researchers engaged in activist research across the world. The event included an introduction to the special issue and articles, and then a panel with provocations and critical reflection on child and youth activism and participatory research. It was followed by Q&A where writers and the audience had an opportunity to share ideas, experiences and views on the future direction of this field of research.
