Dear Childism Institute Listserv Members,



I’m delighted to announce that our next Transnational Childism Colloquium
will take place on *Friday April 29, 2022, 9:00-11:00 am US ET via Zoom*,
on the subject of “*Childist Approaches to Law*.” Please find the link for
information and to join here <https://www.childism.org/projects>. I’d like
to thank Aoife Daly for taking the lead in putting together this exciting
program.



This colloquium will examine how legal theories and structures could be
transformed by overcoming children’s systemic discrimination and instead
taking children’s experiences centrally into account. Panelists are both
legal studies and childhood studies scholars and work in a wide range of
countries as well as internationally. It is hoped that this colloquium will
kick off a series of conversations and workshops that will be able to forge
a new field of childist law.



The program is made of two panels of highly distinguished scholars:



*Panel 1: Legal Theories and Systems*



Barbara Bennett Woodhouse, Emory University, "An Ecological Perspective on
Children's Rights"

Rebecca Stern, Uppsala University, and Pernilla Leviner, Stockholm
University, "Is Age-Related Discrimination an Issue? The CRC Committee and
Article 2"

Hiroharu Saito, University of Tokyo, "Equal Protection for Children: A
Childist Approach to Constitutional Doctrine"

Karl Hanson, University of Geneva, "Children’s Rights Studies and the
Childism Prism"



*Panel 2: Legal Issues and Futures*



Aoife Daly, University College Cork, "Childism, Law, and the Climate Crisis"

Thoko Kaime, University of Bayreuth, "Centering the Child in International
Environmental Law"

Nate Walker, Rutgers University, "Childism, Religion, and Law"

Hedi Viterbo, Queen Mary University of London, "Rethinking Law's Age
Segregation"



Please mark your calendars and share with your networks. I look forward to
seeing you there.



John Wall
