Research project Journalistic media production with children

In this study children's participation in the public sphere is seen as ontologically entangled in social, cultural, environmental and technological assemblages, both material and discursive, and inquires how this will have a bearing on understanding the emergence of children's public life. The research question will be explored empirically in news-making workshops with children between the ages of 9 to 12, where topics of children's interest will be communicated via journalistic production and communication to the wider public sphere. The project's posthumanist theorization aims to expand our knowledge of the contingent reality of children's communication practices in the public sphere.
