The mission is to provide socially relevant
and interdisciplinary environment for research and education about children and
young people. We focus on lived experiences as well as social, political and
material conditions. We strive analyse problems associated with how views on
children and childhood vary with time and location, using contemporary,
comparative and historical perspectives.
We study children’s and young people’s lives, conditions and agency in various
social and cultural contexts, and through investigating the legislation and
policies that regulate and circumscribe children.
