In this Keynote Lecture session, Professor Lucía Rabello de Castro will discuss the following questions: What are the distinctive elements in the study of childhood? How do decolonial studies contribute to complex transnational perspectives in the study of childhoods?
In this framework, she will address the contributions of decolonial perspectives in the Global South as an alternative to universalist perspectives and methodologies based on local studies to make the diversity and complexity of childhoods more visible.
Finally, she will provide some insights into how to contribute to the study of childhood from an approach that integrates local and global perspectives driven by the needs and demands of locales in the Global South.
