In addition to my academic publications, I also sometimes write for other audiences.

  • Discussion of the working children’s movement’s analysis of economic exploitation
  • Blog post on intergenerational activist collaboration
  • Advice for adults on how to effectively support youth activists
  • Essay on how youth around the world are calling for greater voice and power in their communities
  • Article about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as not just a legal document but also a cultural text that can support kids’ activism.
  • Op-Ed about youth climate strikes that talks about how adults dismiss youth activists and argues that adults should engage with young people’s arguments and ideas, not just focus on their age.
  • Video for youth activists exploring the question, “What responses should I expect from adults when I get involved in activism?”
  • Essay on the twenty-year history of millennials’ involvement in social movements and activism
  • Commentary on why we should support working children’s activism for their rights, rather than try to abolish child labor
