Abstract
Childhood studies programs and generic social science programs in universities across the world increasingly offer courses that in some way focus on ‘global childhoods’. For this webinar, we will bring into conversations four prominent scholars who, based on their teaching and research experiences on ‘global childhoods’, will explore and reflect on four sets of ideas: theoretical and empirical framing of ‘global childhoods’, questions around intersectionality and positionality in teaching ‘global childhoods’, decolonization of curriculum and epistemological justice, and the role of Childhood Studies journals in fostering critical debates around knowledge production, research and training on ‘global childhoods’.
