The Symposium will explore the ways in which children and childhood are represented in visual media, how visual media can be used in childhood research, and some of the practical, theoretical, and ethical questions raised by both activities.

Papers will address the following topics:

• The visual representation of children in art, cinema, still photography, television, journalism and advertising, historically and in the present
• Uses of film, video, and still photography in child-focused social research, historically and in the present
• Studies of the uses of visual media in advocacy on behalf of children
• Children’s own creative use of visual media, and research based on this work
