Children’s perspectives and rights to be heard

Beskrivelse

At this symposium we present our article “Access to children’s perspectives?” (Rasmussen & Schmidt, 2024). Drawing on childism, agential realism and an empirical example from a daycare centre, we demonstrate how children's perspectives emerge from and become entangled with pedagogues, ethics, spaces, materials and discourse. As childism aims to criticize and reconstruct fundamental normative assumptions and challenge the generational order, we find that the question is not about gaining access to children's perspectives, but rather to be concerned with the interactions wherein children's perspectives can emerge. This involves a critical view of the structures and basic assumptions that manifest themselves in the daily life of daycare centres and which underlie, and can result in, a subordination of children and children's perspectives.
