This micromodule introduces childism as a critical lens for questioning adult-centered assumptions in knowledge, policy, and practice, and explores how it can reframe responses to global challenges.
You will engage with childism as theory and praxis alongside related concepts such as Child Perspective and Children’s Perspective. Through themes of climate justice, intergenerational responsibility, migration, activism, and democratic futures, the module examines how adult normativity shapes knowledge production, sustainable development, and welfare systems.
Rather than simply adding children’s voices, childism challenges the structures that marginalize them, calling for a reimagining of justice, democracy, and sustainability beyond adult norms.
