Children Producing Knowledge: Is it Childhood that’s in the Way?

Join us for the second talk in the MCYU series for adults, "Reimagining Childhood". This talk will be moderated by Dr. Sandeep Raha, an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McMaster University and the Director of the McMaster Children and Youth University (MCYU).

Among other things, reimagining childhood reveals surprising ways in which children are indispensable to making our world work, including in spheres we might not intuitively expect. But children as knowledge producers? That’s an idea worth examining more deeply. A growing body of research points to the importance of recognizing the unique ways children help to produce knowledge and what we all have to gain from taking their contributions seriously.
