FXB Center Work in Progress Seminar: There’s No Such Thing As Other People’s Children

March 28, 2023 @ 1:00 pm

Join this work in progress (WIP) seminar to hear Dr. Bissell talk about her current book project, a forthcoming Oxford University Press (OUP) publication on the safety and protection of the world’s children. She will speak about the origins of the initiative and present its first chapter. This is a chapter that uniquely positions the protection of children around the world within a tripartite framework of human/children’s rights, public health, and ‘capacities.’ Notably, several FXB colleagues are part of this important book.

Date and Time: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at 1:00p.m. – 2:00p.m. ET

Location: Zoom
