Childism and Archiving the Climate Movement
Childism and Archiving the Climate Movement
Our Challenge
This challenge asks you to propose future solutions that could help historians write about child and youth contributions to the early 21st-century climate movement. Although children and youth play important roles in social change, their voices and age remain marginal in most historical research. The difficulty often lies in the limited access to sources about and created by children and youth. You will therefore engage, investigate, and propose ideas for how future historians could better capture these contributions and forms of activism.
