Violence and childhood: war affected children London, June 30 2011

The 5th seminar in the series was held on June 30th. Podcasts and powerpoints are available at www.internationalchildhoodstudies.org. This was a very lively day of debate about theory, programing and policy on war-affected children, particulary child soldiers. Susan Shepler set out a very useful typography of how to tie theoretical frameworks to practice and policy and made a very relevant case for the importance of context (and anthrpological approaches) in understanding how the experience of war impacts on children and childhood (and youth).
