Abstract: Children are too often regarded as “not-yet-persons, “silenced, underestimated, and even treated as possessions. Yet across the world, they also appear in strikingly different roles: as soldiers, as workers, and as advocates for peace and social justice. This talk examines the prejudice of “childism” and the risks we take when we fail to recognize children’s place in the global community. Their voices matter, in philosophy, in shaping social and political life, and in offering models for the future we are building together.

“I’m emailing on behalf of The Gadfly, Columbia’s undergraduate philosophy magazine. Each semester, we publish a print issue featuring philosophically relevant content, including essays, fiction, art, poetry, etc. from students from a variety of institutions and disciplinary backgrounds. This semester, the theme of our issue is “Membrane”, and we are looking for pitches. I’m reaching out to see if it would be possible for you to forward this opportunity to your students. If they are interested, they can submit a pitch to this link by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 10/5. If you have any questions about the application, please feel free to email gadflyinquiry@gmail.com. “
