Kim","doi":"10.1177/09075682211011835","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09075682211011835","url":null,"abstract":"We thank Patrick Thomas for his thoughtful response to our papers. There are places where we disagree with him, but the main purpose of our articles was to prompt discussion of the issues surrounding children’s rights and research ethics, the notion of childled research, and the nature of Childhood Studies (CS). Our, necessarily brief, response to his comments parallels the structure of his article. The aim of the first paper Thomas discusses, as indicated in its introduction, was to challenge the way in which appeals to children’s rights are made in much CS literature without sufficient attention to the problems that have long been identified with the notion of rights. In addition, questions were raised about the way in which the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is frequently appealed to, especially the assumption that compliance requires that research with children must take a ‘participatory’ form. Aside from the general problems with rights claims, it was pointed out that there is no explicit reference to the practice of research in the UNCRC; and that most of its articles are concerned with child protection rather than child participation. Thomas does not question the general discussion of the concept of rights – the fact that there are different types, sources, and groundings for them, and that they may be in conflict – but he does claim that Hammersley relies on a ‘misreading’ of the UNCRC. In support of this, he cites ‘The Committee on the Rights of the Child General Comment No. 12’. He is right that it was remiss for this not to have been taken into account, and he is also correct that this document suggests that Article 12 has wider application than Hammersley implies. However, while the document has sections dealing with a range of specific types of situation, there is none devoted to research, all that is said about it is that in paediatric research and clinical trials children’s consent must be gained, and that all research involving children should provide feedback to them. On our reading, despite its emphasis on children’s ‘participation’ generally, it does not warrant the claim that all research with children must take a participatory form in the manner that some have claimed. We focused on Article 12.1 of the UNCRC because it states the 1011835 CHD0010.1177/09075682211011835ChildhoodHammersley and Kim research-article2021","PeriodicalId":47764,"journal":{"name":"Childhood-A Global Journal of Child Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"200 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09075682211011835","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49253386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A preliminary call for a critical public childhood studies","authors":"Spyros Spyrou","doi":"10.1177/0907568220987149","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0907568220987149","url":null,"abstract":"My call in this editorial is for Childhood Studies to become more public with the added caveat that it should retain its critical rigor while doing so. Yet, despite my stated preference, my interest with this editorial is less to convince that this is indeed a good move for the field and more to encourage a discussion around the issue—in that sense, my call is meant to be preliminary. After all, fields do not follow individual injunctions, but move and develop in ways which are impacted by multiple forces which coalesce at particular times, many of which escape any individual’s control. A concern with becoming more public has been an ongoing preoccupation for many disciplines and fields of study. Much of the discussion often revolves around questions of relevance and impact. How relevant is our discipline or field beyond academia? What kinds of public concerns are we responding to and how much impact do we have? In recent decades, there has been a more systematic attempt to address such questions in fields like sociology and anthropology, where explicit fears of becoming too obscure and irrelevant to the ongoing challenges faced by humanity, have sparked productive dialogues. In a much influential presidential address in 2004, Michael Burawoy (2005a) called for a public sociology that would address diverse publics and become a legitimate enterprise within the field. Burawoy argued that a public sociology would not negate but rather complement the work of professional, critical and policy sociology. Burawoy’s address has been discussed and debated since then with both supporters and critics contributing towards a more productive dialogue about sociology’s mission and trajectory as a discipline. In anthropology, Robert Borofsky (2019) has recently levelled a harsh critique on the field calling for a paradigm shift and a move towards a public anthropology which does not seek to sharply differentiate itself from a well-established applied anthropology but attempts to become more relevant and responsive to contemporary public concerns in public ways. That Borofsky’s book was endorsed by 35 prominent anthropologists is perhaps suggestive about the recognition and consensus around this need. I suggest that Childhood Studies might also benefit from a more explicit discussion around this issue which expands on Karl Hanson’s recent editorial in Childhood (Hanson 2019) on the societal impact of academic childhood and children’s rights research. If nothing else, a dialogue around this issue will encourage the field to reflect on its own practices and interventions as well as its overall remit. So what does it mean then to call for a public Childhood Studies? It first and foremost means to engage with diverse publics beyond the scholarly worlds of academia and research. Those of us who work in academic settings already engage with a significant public, namely our students, but depending on the research work we do, with other 987149 CHD0010.1177/09075682209871","PeriodicalId":47764,"journal":{"name":"Childhood-A Global Journal of Child Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"181 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0907568220987149","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48225142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
