Introducing: Children's Perspective

17/12/2020

Themes such as forced migration are very often discussed from an adult-centered perspective, yet these topics also directly and indirectly affect children and young adults. In light of this incomplete discourse, this page aims to include children in conversations surrounding migration and acknowledge how they are affected by experiences of flight, migration, and belonging in order to add to the discussion the #HT94 project opens.

In this section of the blog, you can find a recorded reading of the children’s book The Suitcase by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros in English, which deals with conceptions of home, forced migration, and community response. In addition, we have a written Q&A with the author Chris Naylor-Ballesteros and a list-in-progress of further resources to engage with these topics. We invite you to share any suggestions or contributions with us via email to help round out our list. Please have a look!

#Children'sPerspective

In the course of the "Hostile Terrains" seminar at University Münster, the project group #Children'sPerspective addresses migration from a focus centered on kids.

We hope that this webpage adds to the #HT94 Münster exhibition by extending its work of visual representation of forced migration with the inclusion of children’s and young adult literature. While the art exhibit puts its focus on visualizing the deadly impact of the U.S. immigration policies, our page aims to put the focus on the lived experiences of forced migration, especially those of children, as well as on the ways in which children can engage with narratives and representations of migration.
