I wrote an article this year about privacy rights for the children of celebrities & am going to start chipping away at a follow-up piece. If anybody happens upon news stories or social media posts that discuss any interactions between celebrities with their children & press photographers, 1/2

This is such a comprehensive and clear summary of all of the challenges facing women in academia. But so frustrating that, 35 years since I began my career, the problems are still the same: ‘Motherhood penalty’ in particular. ☹️

Looking forward to this event tonight in Glasgow. A thorny child rights topic. @jkgillettswan.bsky.social and I have tried to formulate a rights respecting process for addressing the many issues that arise. Interested to hear the perspectives of the different perspectives of the expert panel.

Help! I can't find much research literature on *children's* views about capacity (to consent, be consulted, exercise #rights etc) There's LOTS on what adults think about it! We're planning research with CYP on this, and would be very grateful for any pointers to papers - please repost!

Embarrassed that I didn’t know about the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The language is horribly dated it but it remains relevant today. 😢 Prof Lundy is right - if we were to write a declaration or convention today, children & young people would be central, to do otherwise is unthinkable.

Yes :) Even in 1926 Janusz Korczak warned that the Declaration was more a plea for benevolence. Here I dwell on this, the serious risks of not recognising children as present human beings fromsaltintears.com/kids-4-human... & the need for @dianemarieamann.bsky.social ‘post-postcolonial child’
