Critical Childhood Studies Centre
The Critical Childhood Studies Centre is a home for world-leading scholarship about childhood as a socio-political, cultural, and historical phenomenon in diverse global contexts. The Centre provides a focal point for faculty and students at all levels in UCL to engage in innovative and multi-disciplinary research, teaching, and public engagement geared towards achieving social justice with and for children and young people.
The UCL Institute of Advanced Studies will close its doors on 31 July 2026. The Critical Childhood Studies Centre hopes to continue to operate and is currently in discussions regarding where the website may move to.
