Childhood's Refusals?, A Reimagining Childhood Studies webinar

Wednesday, 3rd March 2021 In this webinar, we take up the notion of ‘refusal’ to explore its value and utility for Childhood Studies. Refusal, in the work of political anthropologist and Indigenous Studies scholar Audra Simpson, is both a research sensibility and decolonial act that presses the limits of a liberal politics of recognition. With the help of three distinguished scholars, in this webinar we consider: What does refusal mean in the context of critical childhood studies, given the thorny problem of power-laden generational relations and oppressive infrastructures of listening? In taking up refusal’s challenge to shift our unit of analysis away from marginalised peoples and pain narratives, what are the institutions, modes of power, and mutating forms of capitalist realism that demand exploration, interrogation, and reimagining in childhood studies? Speakers: Valeria Llobet (Universidad Nacional de San Martín) : Everyday violence and child care in the Global South. Refusal as useful theoretical and methodological tool Fikile Nxumalo (The University of Toronto): Cartographies of Black refusal in early childhood studies Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem): Unchilding Interrupted: Reflections from Palestine
