Seminar for Young Scholars: Children in Multiple Crises

Seminar for Young Scholars: Children in Multiple Crises brings together young researchers (MA and PhD students, postdocs and other early-career researchers) studying child vulnerability in different contexts in Estonia and Germany. Throughout the three seminar days, young researchers from Estonia and Germany will present to each other their research varying from child autonomy in medical care to the experiences of child refugees from Ukraine, from child sexual abuse to the COVID-19 effects on children's wellbeing in schools. Furthermore, to provide a further impulse to discussions, internationally known and recognised childhood researchers Prof. Sabine Andresen and Prof. Dagmar Kutsar will give their input. Prof. Sabine Andresen will also give an open lecture, which is open not only to the students at the University of Tartu but also to professionals working with children in vulnerable life situations. As childhood studies is a well-established research direction at both the University of Tartu and the Goethe University Frankfurt, the seminar allows a lot of room for mutual learning and ample opportunities for networking and generating ideas for further cooperation.
