[ecrea] IAMCR Pre-conference, 26-27 July 2016 at LSE: Children's and Young People's Rights in the Digital Age

*Children's and Young People's Rights in the Digital Age*

We are delighted to announce that a conference on children’s and young
people’s rights in the digital age at LSE, as a London-based
pre-conference to the Leicester IAMCR conference this coming July. We
hope anyone interested in researching this field will consider
participating.

We see a growing momentum behind calls for the recognition of the
potential of online and networked media for promoting children’s rights.
At the same time, researchers, child rights’ advocates and internet
governance experts are concerned that children’s rights are being newly
infringed rather than enhanced in the digital age. This raises questions
for research, policy and practice:

  * Exactly how is the digital impacting on children’s rights today?
  * What are the challenges to children’s rights presented by the 
digital?
  * How might we seize the opportunities that can accompany children’s
    online participation to promote children’s rights in the
    contemporary world?

See http://iamcr.org/leicester2016/preconf/youth-digital-rights-cfp for
further information and the call for papers. Abstracts are due:
15February, 2016. Abstracts must be submitted at
